How to set 4 MB of virtual memory in windows xp? A software says I need 4 MB of VM set aside for the program to run.

Hi KennethBrasel,

Welcome to the Microsoft community where you can find all the answers related to windows.

According to the description provided, looks that you receive a virtual memory message when installing a program on Windows XP computer.

By default, the virtual memory paging file that is created during installation is 1.5 times the physical RAM on your computer. Therefore, a computer that has 1 GB of RAM installed will have 1.5 GB of virtual memory.

You can manually change the size of the swap file to make it larger or smaller. You can also optimize virtual memory use by dividing the space of files between multiple drives and by removing the disks slow or very open space.

He would be grateful if you can answer this question in order to help you further.

1. What is the size of your RAM memory?
2 are. what program you referring?

I suggest you try the following steps to change the virtual memory:

a. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.

b. in the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

(c) in the results pane, click settings.

d. in the performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

e. in the virtual memory section, click on change.

f. change the initial size value and the value of maximum size to a higher value, click on set and then click OK.

g. click OK to close the performance Options dialog box and then click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.

Note: With virtual memory, the computer can use the hard drive as memory (RAM) space. The computer uses virtual memory to increase the ordinary RAM that is installed on the computer. If you reduce the size of the pagefile, some the program may not start correctly or may not start at all. This problem may occur even if the computer has plenty of RAM.

If you need Windows guru, do not hesitate to post your questions and we will be happy to help you.

    Hello

    Without knowing the programs you want to disable, I'll start by saying that I can't be responsible for adverse effect to the normal operation of your system.

    That said...

    • Click Start
    • Type msconfig and press enter
    • Click on the Startup tab

    You will see checkboxes for programs that run at startup.

    Or you can use a more comprehensive tool called autoruns...

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    Maybe is a better way to explore the settings for the programs themselves, there is often a check box for "do not run at startup.

  • Cannot activate Windows 8 error "the Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not to own pieces."

    Original title: invalid product key :(

    Today, I tried to load my computer and was faced with the blue screen error short story that my hard drive some how became corrupt and had no partition. Fortunately, I had a friend who told me step by step how to solve this problem using my hard drive in my brothers pc. When it came to reinstalling windows I booted the computer directly from my windows disc 8 and when I tried to activate the key once I was ready to I received an error Code: 0xC004F061Description: The Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not for own pieces. Means that I can not use the key I bought and must buy a new one? It seems really unfair because I've already spent money on the upgrade.

    You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

    If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

    If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.
