No suicide is definitely not an option for you.

If you cannot run that application, I wouldn't worry about it, do the other stuff and see if that helps.

If not there are other options to explore.

Can you tell me the specs of your system.

How much HDD space do have - how much is available ?
how much RAM ?
processor speed ?
