How do you increase the volume of "Virtual memory"?

Question

I've tried to do System Restore for about three or four days now and for some strange reason, the blue bar only gets to exactly underneath the "Restoring settings..." part and then a pop-up comes up and says "Virtual memory too low" and then restarts with no changes made. How do I go about repairing this?

Answer 1

Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Performance Settings > Advanced tab > Virtual Memory, click Change. You'll need enough hard disk space for it. Typically 1.5 to 3 times the ampunt of RAM is optimal.

Answer 2

Virtual memory is the swap space alloted on the hard disk. It has a minimum and a maximum value. Usually minimum is equal to the physical RAM on your pc. and the maximum is two and half times the RAM.
You can find the virtual memory setting on the location in winXP
start > control panel > system > advanced > performance settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory Change
select the hard disk partition.
select the custom size radio button. Enter values.Press OK
Allocate VM on all partitions of the hard disk.

Answer 3

its under the control panel, click "system properties" then select the "advanced" tab. Then select the settings button in the box up top marked "performance." Once you do that a box will come up called performance options, select the middle tab called "advanced" and at the bottom in an area called virtual memory it will have the current size allocated. Press the change button in that box to increase or decrease it.

Answer 4

If your tapping into your virtual memory which is using the hard drive you need to go buy more memory. Using virtual just slows down your computer. Try 2 gigs of memory and you Internet and everything will run much faster.

Answer 5

Go to the control panel, click on system. click on advanced at the top, click on performance, then advanced, then find where it says virtual memory and click change.
