How can I correct virtaul memory?

I get the message, that I am virtaul memory. How can I solve this problem? Please help me! .. Thanks a lot...

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 to happen on it to enlarge and display this message.

Most of the time this means someone has been tampering with the swap file to try to solve another problem that usually has nothing to do with their paging file.

To see what your current, make settings right click my computer, properties, advanced, Performance settings, Advanced tab change button, virtual memory.

Unless learn you more about managing memory than Windows XP, you should let XP manage the size of your virtual memory paging file.

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

System managed size

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 yours is not set to the size of the managed system, you must determine how it changed and why (usually a bad reason), take note of the current settings, change the size of the managed system setting, click define and apply the changes (you will be asked to restart).

"Because someone told me to" is not a good reason to make adjustments to the size of pagefile.  You must understand and fix it well - not just trying things.  It may need adjustment, but you should at least try to know what you do and why you do it.

After making the settings, restart, then check the paging file settings again to ensure that they stick, then retest your system and see if you still get the messages.

If you still see the message, you must determine what applications you are running that consume a large part of the virtual memory that Windows XP needs to adjust it.

Some applications are known to consume large amounts of virtual memory (as the Teatimer from Spybot - do you have installed?).

You can determine how the applications 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 TM to sort the column.  For example, sort tasks in the column size CPU or virtual memory manager.

What are the processes on the top using virtual memory?

If you need another set of eyeballs on your parameters, describe the top 5 applications that see you in the Manager tasks that use the most virtual memory and, to do this:

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.

Please vote my posts as helpful so I can get a lot of points. I'm saving for a pony!
