Virtual memory is the use of hard drive space to augment physical memory. Usually that error message means that you are low on hard drive space. If you are using Windows XP, you can use the Disk Cleanup wizard to assist you in freeing space. It is located in Programs -%26gt; Accessories -%26gt; System Tools.
you can increase it, heres how you do it. start %26gt; right click my computer %26gt; properties %26gt; go under advanced tab %26gt; under performance click settings %26gt; go on advanced tab %26gt; under virtual memory click change %26gt; set maximun to 4000mb and then click set, then ok 3x
Run Disk Cleanup from the System Tools section or download a cleaner like CCleaner. It's mostly stuff from internet that you've visited. Cleaning out the Temporary Internet Files, Recycle bin, Clearing the cache, deleted any restore points, etc.
hard disk full maybe?
it mean that you're running out of memory, operating system can't handle your requests, in technical terms OS is running out of frames so it can't perform paging.
You should either upgrade your computer (or buy some more RAM memory), or close some applications if it is the case that you're working simultaneously with a lot programs, browsers opened etc.
Most consuming in terms of memory are applications like photoshop, corel draw, etc, so make sure you don't leave programs opened unnecessarily.
regards,
You need to increase the size of you page file size - on Windows XP you need to do the following:
1.Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2.Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System (on some systems you can click directly on System from Control Panel)
3.On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
4.On the Advanced tab, under Virtual memory, click Change.
5.Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change.
6.Under Paging file size for selected drive, click to select the System managed size check box, and then click Set.
7.Click OK three times.
When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
on posting your question you need to post how much memory your computer has,it sounds like windows is swapping out virtual memory with rem memory,,this is caused,by either to small of a hard drive,or lack of enough ram memory,also keep your comp defragged,and clean up,and free memory space on drive c,,this is very important,especially on computers with small amounts of ram,keep all this clean,and you should have enough to run it ,,if the problem occurs again,i would suggest a small memory upgrade,,hope this help,s solve it.
Good advice here.Go to start..control panel..add or remove proframmes.From that list unload everything you use rarely.Then go to tools..options..clear cookies and temporary files.
1* Go to START %26gt; SEARCH/FIND %26gt; *tmp
Delete your temporary folders
2* Go to IE %26gt; INTERNET OPTIONS %26gt; TOOLS %26gt; DELETE COOKIES, FILES AND INTERNET HISTORY
3* Delete any programs and files you do not need anymore
4* Download and run a freeware program called Ccleaner, it will get rid of useless folers and files left behind when software has been uninstalled or deleted
5* Run all your spyware, malware and virus programs
6* Stop programs you don't use every day from starting automatically when Windows starts like a scanner or printer, they can be started manually when you want to use them
7* Get some new memory added, it's easy to do and not too expensive
8* Do a disk Clean up and then Defrag, it's best to defrag your comp overnight as it can take a while depending on when you last did it
Everything on your computer takes up memory space but your computer also needs some memory to work properly so you can surf %26amp; go on E-bay, windows uses virtual memory so the computer can still work when it is low on memory space for the computer to work.
You have so many files, folders, software, music etc on your computer that most of the memory is used up in storing these files and music so it needs more to run properly.
It's easy to add more memory and theres plenty of tutorials on the web on how to do it.
virtual memory means the number of megabites used on your ram so if you want to increase it you need to bye another ram or also you can do the following press %26gt;ctrl+alt+delete%26gt;click on the processes tab and then close any processes that you donnot need and you should take care not to close any processes that belong to the system from the_cool_bazooka and iwant you to visit my website and tell me if it is working or not please and it http://192.168.1.7/
You have all said the same thing and not mentioned the most obvious... what programs are running or are loaded into memory...... what has already been said is correct but you also may need to tune up your start up programs... things like msoffice or msworks, yahoo messenger, msn meessenger steam, and about a million other programs that want to be in your start up and permanently reside in your memory. go to start%26gt;run and type MSconfig %26gt; startup tab go through the list anything that resides in program files can be safely switched off
Run startup.exe at:
http://www.mlin.net/startupcpl.shtml....
Can't live without it and windows...
Then disable and/or uninstall whatever u don't need.
