To properly use your communications software (e.g., HyperTerminal),

I get a “Not Enough Space for Allocation” error message from the
Sleep Manager program.
This is an error message that may appear when Sleep Manager is
creating the Hibernation file. There are several different reasons that
may cause this error:
The hard disk has enough free space, but this free space exists as
small fragments.
The free disk space that Sleep Manager requires needs to be
contiguous. To solve this problem, use tools such as Disk
Defragmenter to compact these free disk spaces. Then run Sleep
Manager again to create the file.
Disk compression utilities are used.
Sleep Manager can work with most compression software.
However, Sleep Manager can only create the space on a host drive.
A host drive stores original file information and cannot be
compressed. The free space on the host drive is usually very small,
so the compression software needs to be run again to enlarge the
size of the host (uncompressed) drive for Sleep Manager.
