...Question Thread

Sorry if this is spam but I really need to get an answer to it I really dont care if you answer it and close it I just need an answer to my question... here it goes, What is Virtual Memory and how do you get more of it? Apparently my computer is "low" on Virtual Memory so I cant run regular programs, I cant even run Windows Media Player or MS Paint it just opens and says this program will terminat:out of memory then a little popup comes up and says you are low on virtual memory but thats it it dosent tell me anything about it. so if you can answer it thanks if you cant thanks too

you have too many programs opened check your startup and stop running programs like kazaa and stuff i got that problem too a while ago

Free up more space on C: (around 400mbs at least should be nominal) and goto the performance tab in System, and tick "I want Windows to mess with my virtual memory"

i think thats the default

or you set your virtual memory to twice whatever your physical ram is, or something, dont remember the trick

If you get more RAM sticks (or memory , whatever you wana call it) does that not increase stuff such as virtual memory? i think it does, i got that sometimes, buyt ive updated to 512MB or RAM now i can have lots of stuff open, but to but this 2ghz processor sucks must be a bad make

so i thnk you should buy more memory, but id ask for help in a computer store for this ..

Chis, when you upgrade the ram, you are going to have to upgrade the acctual speed itself, think about it, high ram with shit speed still means its going to take forever to load something.....

Go read a PC manual or something......
