thanks you , lee,Windows Virtual Memory Too Low?
LOL! you people crack me up. Virtual memory is not Ram! It is what your computer writes to the hard drive and pretends is ram hence';virtual';.

Ok now to answer. In your picture it recommends 934mb why not try 934mb? From back in the days of Windows 98, I was always taught If you're not going to let the system manage the virtual memory set it to 1.5 time the amount of physical memory. Which comes out to 936mb almost exactly the recommended amount.Windows Virtual Memory Too Low?
This is how you tackle this problem.Right click My Computer,Properties,Advance tab.

Click Settngs button on the Performance section.Click on Advance will bring up another box that says Perfomance Options.The last part says Virtual memory,click change and the change to whatever settings that suits your needs.Depending on how much space you have on your hard drive.You can also assign windows to set its size.
You can do one of three things to fix that.



1) Add more RAM



2) Switch from a custom page file size to System managed size



3) Increase the custom page file size until you stop getting errors. Try entering 512 at the initial size, and 1024 as the maximum size, and if you still have trouble, go to 1024 (initial) and 2048 (max).
one thing is you got a very low memory (RAM)...you have to upgrade!



with your RAM (624 MB) you should have a virtual memory of 934 MB as mentioned in the images you gave..
