Best reply to the topic was:

"This is a rare error when the overwriting mechanism of the memory banks
lead to an overflow of data because it cannot add on and thus
super-stack, increasing the weight significantly.  While normal
weight/file ratio is approximately 0.02 oz/GB, in rare cases such as
these, it can go as high as somewhere around 6 oz/GB.

One solution is going to the system32 folder (C:\WINDOWS\system32) and
deleting certain unnecessary files, but too much tampering may cause
permanent changes to your computer."
