∙ 13y agoPrograms that are running are STORED on the hard drive (or CD/DVD, etc). However, they are copied to the computers memory (called RAM) while running. This is also where any changes are made, for example in a Word document. When you save it (or exit the program) the changes are written back to the hard drive, This is why crash or power outage can cause you to lose data, as the changed data does not get written back to the hard drive

When the program is actually running, it is in RAM.
