Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low Problem |
|
|
Okay well I keep getting this popup thing and it says:
Windows - Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low
Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. During this process, memory requests for some applications may be denied. For more information, see Help.
I looked at Help and it said all this weird computer language stuff. Now I don't really know a lot about computers but I believe I know enough.
Is there anyone who can tell me what this means or how I can fix this problem? Would buying a specific hardware for the computer make this problem better? |

| In WinXP, right click My Computer, and select Properties. Go to the Advanced tab, and under Performance, click Settings. At there, click the Advanced tab. There, you will find one option at the bottom to change your virtual memory. Select Change and increase it. |

| Either you have too many programs running at once, or you just don't have enough memory in your computer.. Right click on My Computer, and click on properties.. Then look near the bottom of the window that pops up, and see what it says.. something like ### MB RAM How much is there? |

Just select 'custom' setting
then put 'minimum' at 250
then put 'maximum' at 500
click 'set' & 'OK' your way out
WORKED FOR ME  |

This is not 100% true. I don't have too many programs running at once, I also have enough memory in my computer, but I still get the error message.
When I am using IE 6, I click on a certain link on a site, or open IE 6 and go to a certain site, the error message appears. It is even hard to start the task manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del.
I use Spybot and anti-virus software to scan for spyware and virus infection but didn't find any problem.
Please help! |

Memory too low |
|
|
Currently, my initial size is 678 MB, and maximum size is 1344 MB. I'm sure my problem is due to the need to have a 54 MB text file open and editable.
I will try doubling my maximum size, but does it matter whether or not I alter the initial size?
BTW, if anyone should call ME a lady for asking this question, I will do something very unladylike.
Thanks..
Steve.. |
