What does low virtual memory mean and how can I FIX THIS PROBLEM? Iam new at this computer world.?

Answer 1

Add more RAM to your computer. If you right-click on My Computer and choose properties you can see the amount of installed RAM. It's probably less than 512MB.

Sure you can change your virtual memory settings but that is not the best resolution for your problem.

You can generally take the computer to a service shop and ask for a RAM upgrade. I'd go for at least 1GB.

Please see the answer to this question for mre info:

Answer 2

From the website I entered below. There are step by step suggestions on the website for dealing with this.

"When all of your computer's real physical memory (RAM) is in use, Windows will try to create virtual memory by grabbing a chunk of hard drive space and treating it like real memory. Your software can't tell the difference between real and virtual memory, but you might because virtual memory access is much slower, due to the hard drive activity it requires.

If you encounter the low virtual memory error message, then you have used the maximum amount of real plus virtual memory that is supported on your system. Sometimes programs that crash or ones that are poorly designed will not return their working memory space to the operating system when they're done using it. Other programs that need a large amount of memory to run may fail because Windows cannot "see" the available memory. In most cases, a shutdown and restart will resolve this problem."

Step by step to fix this problem. Right click on my computer icon choose properties, click on Advandce tab, in the Performance zone click settings. A new window will open, click on Advandce tab, on the Virtual Memory click Change, click on custom size then type 1000 - 1000 if your harddrive have enought space. restart the PC when it ask. But the best way is to buy more RAM. Have fun!
