Windows - out of...?

Question

Windows - out of virtual memory

X your system is low on virtual memory. To ensure that Windows runs properly, increase the size of your virtual memory paging file.

How do I do that? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Click START, then HELP, enter "virtual memory" as a search topic, and read the guidance on the version of windows you are running.

For Win XP

To change the size of the virtual memory paging file
Open Computer Management (Local).
In the console tree, right-click Computer Management (Local), and then select Properties.
On the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, and under Virtual memory, click Change.
In the Drive list, click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.
Under Paging file size for selected drive, type a new paging file size in megabytes in the Initial Size (MB) or Maximum Size (MB) box, and then click Set.
If you decrease the size of either the minimum or maximum page file settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. Increases generally do not require a restart.

Notes

To open Computer Management, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
You must be recognized as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group on your computer and on the computer you are managing to perform this task.
You can view or change system properties on a remote computer or a local computer. To access a remote computer, right-click Computer Management (Local), click Connect to another computer, and then select the computer you want to connect to in the list.
For best performance, set the initial size to not less than the recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system.
Usually, you should leave the paging file at its recommended size, although you might increase its size if you routinely use programs that require a lot of memory.
To delete a paging file, set both initial size and maximum size to zero.


Alsomake sure hard drive is not getting close to totally full . . . delete old files, temp files etc

Answer 2

dont think the problem is virtual too low, the programs you have running are taking to much ram (real memory) and borrowing from virtual, then when you run another program its too much for the memory to handle. so stop some other programs. but, right click my computer icon, then properties, then advanced, then performance options, advanced then virtual memory - change. should be set at 1 and a half times the amount of real ram memory installed. or close.

Answer 3

Start, right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced Tab, Performance Settings, Advanced, Virtual Memory Change, Select C:, Custom Managed Size.

Make your virtual memory 1.5X your current RAM, so if you have 256MB of ram, make it 384MB.

Good luck.
