Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory.
I did notice a process called "HP Device Monitor" using a gig in itself even though I wasn't printing.
But my Macintosh HD Info Reports the Following.
Mem Usage
Mac OS X 10.7.5
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
There is no more memory available. Find out what process or processes are occupying your Mac's memory.
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory and determine how much RAM is being used
Your screenshots are not appearing for me. Post a screenshot of Activity Monitor sorted by the Real Mem column.

EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
The images aren't showing because screenshot defaults to making .png files and I'm not sure .png are fully web compliant. I was in a hurry and didn't have a chance to convert to .jpg.
In any case, I haven't been able to reproduce the same error yet.
OK thanks.
There is no need to convert .png files; they are compatible with this site.
