        {
            string[] Drives = System.IO.Directory.GetLogicalDrives();
            long tm = System.GC.GetTotalMemory(true);
            UInt64 UserAvailable=0,Capacity=0,Available=0;
            if(Drives!=null)
            {
                int retval = GetDiskFreeSpaceExA(Drives[0],ref UserAvailable,ref Capacity,ref Available);
                this.lblDiskFree.Text = Available.ToString();
                this.lblDiskTotal.Text = Capacity.ToString();
            }
            MEMORYSTATUSEX msex=new MEMORYSTATUSEX();
            int retval2 = GlobalMemoryStatusEx(msex);
            this.lblMemoryFree.Text = msex.ullAvailPhys.ToString();
            this.lblMemoryTotal.Text = msex.ullTotalPhys.ToString();
        }
