 > Is that total or free? It would also be helpful to open Tor Messenger
 while monitoring (Task Manager or Resource Monitor) to see how much memory
 it's trying to consume.

 Total. Free is 135 to 140 MB. Cached is around 2603 MB and available is
 2704.

 When I try to run tor Messenger no processes start up before I get that
 error message. Nothing appears in task manager.

 Messenger, but even then, it doesn't look like it's been built since
 January.

 Version 1.5. Not a nightly.

 Yes that works fine.
