low virtual memory means what?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Virtual Memory is space allocated on your hard drive for those times that your physical memory (RAM) is not enough.

To increase the amount of virtual memory go to Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory "Change" > Custom Size > adjust as needed. 2 times your physical RAM is a good minimum and 3 times your physical memory in MB is good for your maximum.

Answer 3

low virtual memory means:
- too many programs open
- not enough memory to run them all and the alloted space on the hard drive used for virtual memory is full.
to avoid this you need to optimize and clean the system:

1) use software to clean the system:

Answer 4

means you are doing or opening too many things at the same time and the computer can't think fast enough.
best thing to do is just not to open many windows at once, maybe three or four is good.
if you want to, you can upgrade your RAM, then you will be able to do more things.
