  Hello

  I understand that you have a problem that the virtual memory is low. I'll be happy to help you with this problem.
   
  -Did you do changes on the computer before this problem?
   
  If you receive warnings that virtual memory is low, you need to increase the minimum size of your pagefile. Windows sets the initial minimum size of the paging file equal to the amount of RAM (RAM) installed on your computer and the maximum size equal to three times the amount of RAM installed on your computer. If you see warnings at these recommended levels, and then increase the minimum and maximum sizes.

• My computer is low on virtual memory. How can I fix it?

  My computer is marked with virtual memory. What should I do?

  Where is Ben from database...

  If you mean that you see a message like this:

  Virtual memory minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.

  This means that Windows XP is to let you know that he does his work.  The message is not an error message - this is an informational message.

  If XP thinks that the size of the swap file (usually c:\pagefile.sys) is too small to accommodate your day-to-day transactions, it will adjust the paging file to expand the pagefile and display this message as it does.  It is not necessarily a 'problem', but the message is boring.

  Sometimes, the message indicates someone was tampering with the XP of the paging file settings to try to solve another problem that usually has nothing to do with their paging file and resolve things inefficiently.

  This could mean that the settings have been adjusted for certain values that don't make sense for the configuration of the system.  Unless we know the system better, you can't just pick certain values out of the air and that your system behaves effectively.  You might not see the message again, but this does not mean that the settings are correct.

  This could mean that the settings have never been properly in the first place when you first install of XP and things must be properly configured.

  Sometimes, as your system configuration changes over time and other applications are running and get bigger, you may add additional RAM to your system to accommodate things (or run the number of requests).

  At least that learn you more about managing memory than Windows XP, it is usually best to simply let XP manage the size of your virtual memory paging file.

  To see what your current, make settings right click post work, properties, advanced, performance settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory, and then click the button change.

  Make a note of the current settings in case you need to change their return more later.

  The best setting for the size of swap file is usually going to be:

  System managed size

  Right click my computer, properties, Advanced tab, Performance... Settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory... Change.

  Set the paging file size on:

  System managed size

  Don't forget to click on Set (to be defined), OK (several times) and then restart your computer.

  Windows XP will attempt to affect a swap file approximately 1.5 times the total amount of RAM installed on your system.  To manage the size of paging file Windows XP is enough for most configurations.

  If your system is not set to the size of the managed system, you must determine how it changed and why (usually a bad reason), make a note of the current settings to change them back later if necessary, and then change the setting to the size of the managed system, click on the Set button and then click on apply to apply the changes (you will be asked to restart).

  "Because someone told me to" is not a good reason to start making adjustments to the size of pagefile.  Setting just above to enlarge it by an arbitrary value can ease the symptoms of the problem and stop message, but may not result in the best configuration for your system.

  If you want your system to operate as efficiently as possible, you must understand what is happening and fix it properly and not only begin to try things or make some arbitrary adjustments.

  The size of the pagefile can really need adjustment, but you should at least try to know what you're doing and why you need to do.  It is unlikely that anyone can tell you how to adjust your settings properly without more information.

  If you don't know what the best settings are or if you are not sure what your settings should be, and we can see what is your situation:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the results here.

• Win XP (Pro) - the correct virtual memory size

  Hello

  May I know what is the optimal size for the virtual memoray in MB when the Advance system setting?

  The default size of the system to the optimal size is?

  What happens when it is too beneath and above the optimum size?

  I need my PC to get the best visual effect and fast and accurate performance.

  Thank you

  No one can tell you that, without more information on your system.

  They can guess and suggest things like the committed Microsoft Support Engineer "experts":

  'Increase the value of the initial and maximum size to a higher value.

  Who has no sense at all, but it is advice from these committed Microsoft alleged Support Engineer "experts."

  Increase by 10, 100, 1000, a meelion?

  If anyone can help to guide me to overcome the lack of virtual memory. Thank you.

  I've never seen this difficulty it work or do something, but you can of course try it (he says it of fixing, but makes no changes for me).  I think this is another of these Fix sound that doesn't fix it.

  I'm not sure that the idea to the other link "get your virtual memory" is a good idea either because it doesn't tell you how to find out how much you have memory, or how much it raise.  Just bumping may be not a good idea.

  Research in Manager tasks will tell you not how your currently running applications use unless you enable the column size virtual memory manager tasks, so that the idea will not a great party serve for you-at least that is how it works on XP system never I've never worked on virtual memory.

  After each adjustment of settings, restart, then check the paging again file settings to make sure they "stick", and then retest your system and see if you still get the message.
  If you still see the message, you can determine what applications that consume a large part of the virtual memory that Windows XP must keep adjusting work.  Knowing that information, you can decide what to do to solve the problem.
  Some antivirus and anti-malware applications are known to consume large amounts of virtual memory (like the Spybot Teatimer).

  You can determine how the applications use virtual memory and those who use virtual memory using the Task Manager.
  To do this:
  Click with the right button on the taskbar, choose Task Manager and select the processes tab.
  Click View, select column, check the box that says: virtual memory size.  Expand the height and the width of the Task Manager by dragging the edges to see if possible all the columns and the processes in a single window.
  Double click on a column heading in the Task Manager to sort this column.  For example, sort tasks in the column size CPU or virtual memory manager.

• I get a notice that my virtual memory is low.

  I get a notice that my virtual memory is low.  -What this means and what I can do? I use windows xp

  If you mean that you see a message like this:

  Virtual memory minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.

  This means that Windows XP is to let you know that he does his work.  The message is not an error message - this is an informational message.

  If XP thinks that the size of the swap file (usually c:\pagefile.sys) is too small to accommodate your day-to-day transactions, it will adjust the paging file to expand the pagefile and display this message as it does.  It is not necessarily a 'problem', but the message is boring.

  Sometimes, the message indicates someone was tampering with the XP of the paging file settings to try to solve another problem that usually has nothing to do with their paging file and resolve things inefficiently.

  This could mean that the settings have been adjusted for certain values that don't make sense for the configuration of the system.  Unless we know the system better, you can't just pick certain values out of the air and that your system behaves effectively.  You might not see the message again, but this does not mean that the settings are correct.

  This could mean that the settings have never been properly in the first place when you first install of XP and things must be properly configured.

  Sometimes, as your system configuration changes over time and other applications are running and get bigger, you may add additional RAM to your system to accommodate things (or run the number of requests).

  At least that learn you more about managing memory than Windows XP, it is usually best to simply let XP manage the size of your virtual memory paging file.

  To see what your current, make settings right click post work, properties, advanced, performance settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory, and then click the button change.

  Make a note of the current settings in case you need to change their return more later.

  The best setting for the size of swap file is usually going to be:

  System managed size

  Right click my computer, properties, Advanced tab, Performance... Settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory... Change.

  Set the paging file size on:

  System managed size

  Don't forget to click on Set (to be defined), OK (several times) and then restart your computer.

  Windows XP will attempt to affect a swap file approximately 1.5 times the total amount of RAM installed on your system.  To manage the size of paging file Windows XP is enough for most configurations.

  If your system is not set to the size of the managed system, you must determine how it changed and why (usually a bad reason), make a note of the current settings to change them back later if necessary, and then change the setting to the size of the managed system, click on the Set button and then click on apply to apply the changes (you will be asked to restart).

  "Because someone told me to" is not a good reason to start making adjustments to the size of pagefile.  Setting just above to enlarge it by an arbitrary value can ease the symptoms of the problem and stop message, but may not result in the best configuration for your system.

  If you want your system to operate as efficiently as possible, you must understand what is happening and fix it properly and not only begin to try things or make some arbitrary adjustments.

  The size of the pagefile can really need adjustment, but you should at least try to know what you're doing and why you need to do.  It is unlikely that anyone can tell you how to adjust your settings properly without more information.

  If you don't know what are the best settings, or if you are not sure what should be your settings, follow these steps:

• Virtual memory in Windows

  Sorry I typed in detail in the area of title darn it. I don't know if someone will be able to read about my problem. If this isn't the case, I can refer the question.

  Here is the thumbnail version, says pop up windows needs more space for virtual windows, I don't know what it means or if I really need. My laptop is 10 years old and I only use it to surf the internet and send emails. I'm an old fart who has spoken to the learning of the internet by my granddaughter and now I'm addicted. This windows virtual memory thing got my computer locked up, it seems to be to download something, but its been going on for 4 hours how to stop it. I thank very you much for any help. In addition, I am missing cause of football that I'm stressed out. If I increase the size of the memory number of megabytes should I put in.

  1. Click Start, right-click my computer, and then click Properties.
  2. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
  3. In the results pane, click settings.
  4. In the performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
  5. In the virtual memory section, click on change.

   

  ---------------------------

   

  because it is likely that the auto is not automatically adjusted virtual memory / page file.

   

  I suggest you to assign a custom size with initial = 2 and max = 1152

• I was told several times that my virtual memory is low.

  I get a Windows message that my virtual memory is low. Windows has increased my page file size but in a week or two, I get the same message. Used to install updates and some programs will not open correctly sometimes. Basically, my computer works pretty well, except for the problem of lack of virtual memory. How can I increase my virtual memory once and for all? There is plenty of room on my hard drive and I'm a little computer illiterate, because I didn't know that there was a difference between virtual memory and space on my hard drive. What I am doing wrong?

• Virtual memory in Windows 7

  Windows 7 Home Edition, 32-bit running.

  I don't know how to set virtual memory, the problem is when I put, 'automatically' or 'custom size'. the setting is not retained.

  He 'falls' after a few minutes. What can I do for adjustment to maintain, at least, in a current work session?

  A Question related - how do I determine what 'substantive programs' need not be running and "devours" the RAM?

  George Troynar

  I found a couple more options for solve you the problem with setting of the Page file.

  -Try to use the command with the - sc config start = disabled afs command prompt.

  Apparently, this disables a component of audio driver (afs) (of little consequence) which is incompatible with the pagefile.

  The prompt as administrator and type or copy / paste - sc config start = disabled afs.

  Press enter, and then restart your computer. Try to set the filename of the Page again.

  [Note: If your command prompt is not already in Admin mode-]

  Type cmd.exe into the Start Menu search bar.  Right-click on CMD.exe in the drop-down list and select Properties.

  Click on the Compatibility tab and check the box next to - "run as administrator... ». ]
