virtual memory too low

[lilian]

I keep getting message saying virtual memory too low, could anyone tell me
how to solve this as I am novice on computers. lilian.

How much memory do you have and how much free disk space.

 

[lilian]

if i have got it right i have 240mb of ram and 22.2 GB of free space
but dont know very much about it, lilian,

go to control panel, system, advanced, performance, advance, virtual memory.
check custom size and set initial size to 2 and max size to 750, then
reboot.

 

[lilian]

I have done what you told me to,it was set for initial 144 max 288. will this
stop my problem now, thanks for your help. lilian

Set the page file for 'System managed'.. you have more than enough free
space on the hard drive, and all being well, you will never see the message
again..

 

[lilian]

thank you done what you said, hope it works, will this speed up my computer
now. lilian

 

[DatabaseBen]

system managed is an option.
as the other - no pagefile.

but there were reasons why
i didn't recommend these for you....

I would be interested as to why you would not recommend 'system managed'..

I would be interested as to why you would not recommend 'system managed'..

 

[lilian]

could you please tell me why you didnt recommend this for me, I dont know
what to do now. lilian

 

[DatabaseBen]

try them both, it won't hurt.

then you'll know why i provided the
suggestion

Set your page file to system managed, and then leave it that way..

Lilian

If you still get the error message, change your page file as I suggested ..

You are replying to the wrong person, and still haven't told me why 'system
managed' would be less of an option in view of the RAM installed and the
amount of free space on the hard drive of the OP..

somebody please tell me which is best to do when your computer is saying
virtual memory is too low and the computer is getting more? and it wont
respond? is it because of the memory or something else?

Set the Page file to system managed.

Look up "virtual memory" in Windows Help. Click the link called
"change the size of the virtual memory paging file"

Read the instructions.

I've been having this trouble periodically. Someone suggested I uninstall
the Google toolbar in Internet Explorer. It seems to have helped.
