Every once in a while a message will pop up and say that i am low on virtual memory.How can I fix this?

Answer 1

You can go into your system setting under control panel and adjust it from there. Also might try putting more ram into the computer.

Answer 2

If a computer running Windows requires more memory/RAM then there is installed in the system to run a program, etc, it uses a small section of the hard drive for this purpose. This is called “Virtual” memory, or “Swap Filling”. If the “Swap” file is to small, then you will get a warning that the system can’t perform the operation that you have requested because sufficient “Virtual” memory isn’t available.

You need to enlarge the size of your “virtual memory/swap file”. So, do the following.

Right click “My Computer” and choose “Properties”.
In the “System Properties” window, click the “Advanced” tab.
Under “Performance”, click “Settings”.
In the “Performance Options” window, click “Advanced”.
Under “Virtual memory”, click “Change”.

Increase the size of the “Paging file” so that it is at least twice the size of your RAM. You can increase the size to “Maximum”, it won’t hurt your system at all.


Best cure.

If you really want to eliminate this problem, all you need do is to install more “Memory/RAM”.

Answer 3

purchase some Ram for the store. Virtual memory is memory that your computer allocates on your hard drive in case you run out of Ram memory. If it is filling up it sounds like you need some ram....it will most likely speed your computer up also.

Answer 5

Being low on virtual memory means 2 things:
- You are low on available RAM
- You are low on hard drive space

The ideal fix is to install more RAM and also a large hard drive.
