Help - my virtual memory is full and I can't fix it

Hello

Last week my mac started saying "the applications memory is full" and detective work showed me my virtual memory is full.

I have used Clean my Mac 3, but that did not help (he removed a lot of junk to computer, but still the same problem of memory)

I'm not technical interest but have tried some things and not having any success.

Any tips?

Basically, he did my livelihood Imac all gel, so it becomes impossible to work. (Can't even type this her - do for my laptop).

I'd just better take it to a genius bar or it's something that I can solve with the help of you good people?

You must free up space, delete apps that you don't use

delete old photos, perhaps after saving them remove old video clip...

  • Lately on the Web, pdf files are not correctly; What is the problem and how can I fix this so I don't have to use IE?

    I am a teacher and often need to open the PDF files of academic electronic databases of journal articles. In the last two or three weeks, when I try to do it using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf display and the rest are empty. In addition, a bar appears in the upper part with the message "this pdf file cannot be displayed properly." So I had to switch to Internet Explorer to open files and do my research. What happens and how can I fix this problem so that you can open PDFs from the Web in Firefox and ask them to work correctly?

    You have the screen image out to another monitor (one that is not plugged in fact).

  • My PC says that it can not download dates because virtual memory runs out? Who can help me. Thank you

    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.

    If you look in the event viewer after this message, you are likely to see is something like this:

    Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. During this process, memory
    for some applications, applications may be refused.

    You already know that well.

    I think it would be best to ask a few questions first, check a few things, see what you have now and then decide what to do:

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

    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 so that we can see what you have:

    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.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and what appears to be personal information for you, simply delete the personal information of the pasted information.

    This minimize back Q & A and eliminate the guesswork and assumptions.

  • Updates will not work as C drive is full and I can't find out how to change the default drive?

    My "C" drive is it is full and I don't know what programs and files should be able to uninstall unused programs. Those that I was able to uninstall I was doing ground but that's left, I don't know what are the components.
    This has affected security downloads and as a result, I am currently without protection.
    The Firefox version I'm currently using is 40.0.2 as the update might fail for lack of room.
    How to fix this and get my computer working properly / so far, I am at a loss?
    Is it possible to move the programs to other readers?
    Is this something that I'll be able to fix it with help or do I have to take someone who knows what they are doing?

    You must ensure that there is enough space on the Windows system drive (drive C) to ensure the proper functioning.

    You can check if you can move (uninstall and reinstall) some programs in another drive and possibly move on data as well.
    You can also check the Windows temp (% RPM, variable environment % TEMP %) to see if you can clean up files there.

    You can perform a custom Setup with most programs including Firefox to specify the installation folder.

  • Virtual memory is low. How can this be repaired?

    There was a message saying that Microsoft "increases" my virtual memory, but the message "virtual memory is low..." ' or 'offline '. "made its first appearance on and the screen was flickering a bit."

    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 change.
    6. Change the initial size value and the value of the maximum size to a value above, click onthe valueand then click OK.
    7. Click OK to close the Performance Options dialog box, and then click OK to close theSystem Properties dialog box.
    The photo guide: -.
    To stop your CPU from constantly changing the paging file, set the initial and maximum size to the same value. For example, 500 and 500. The value must be at least 1.5 times more than your physical RAM. If your computer has 512 MB of RAM, increase the file of virtual memory paging to 1.5 * 512 = 768
