How to increase virtual memory in Windows XP

Original title: HOW can I INCREASE MY VIRTUAL MEMORY?

I just talked with Francis during one of your help sites.  I'm kinda comfused.  Search using your hand on my email?  He did not make this very clear part.

The problem is that I run of virtual memory.  What should I do to increase memory.  Looking at "My Computer", I have a lot of memory left.  I used GB 35.6, 144 GB of free space and a total capacity of 180 GB on my 'C' drive, so I don't understand why I keep runing of virtual memory.  How affecting my virtual memory? This happens usually when I play games on Facebook.

My computer freezes at the top and then I get the message that my memory virtual memory is low.  If you could help me, I would be very happy.  I got so frustrated I stopped playing games I love, especially as these games include family and friends.

Please help me.

Thank you

    What seems to be the case, it's that your windows is having a hard time resize its file for virtual memory.

    my suggestion is to remove "auto" at that time, and then set a custom format.

    I recommend that you set the initial size of 2 and max at 1152.

  • increase virtual memory

    in trying to increase my virtual memory, he always tells me that I need to enter the value of the file size of page? can anyone help.

    Why do you think that you need to increase virtual memory?

    No one can help you without more information (well, they can try, but it might be only guess).

    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.

    Note the current setting, so you can change things later if you have a problem.

    If it is already done, on the size of swap file:

    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.

    All the advice to 'Increase the value of the initial and maximum size to a higher value' are misinformed ideas that come from not knowing how to work XP - How do you increase it and what happens if you increase too?

    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 and need help looking at your stuff, follow these steps:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

    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.

    Hello

    If you are running a high end games that require more graphics card memory, you can get a prompt to increase the virtual memory.

    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 installed on your PC, the maximum size equal to three times the amount of RAM installed on your PC.

  • 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... ». ]

    Yes, you can do it. The minimum must be large enough to contain an image of the core. If the maximum is too small, you will get the unpleasant results.

    Windows works the way it is supposed to work.  How much memory is being used by the system and applications running exceeds the sum of physical memory (RAM) and the file for the current page, Windows automatically increases the size of the page file (unless your hard drive is close to full).  The message you see Windows reacts to a heavy load on your system - it is not the result to set the filename of the page.

    When the message says: "Look in the help", you should do it.  Click Start > Help and Support, and then type
    virtual memory
    in the search box.  Look for the section titled "Managing your computer's performance."

    A good explanation of how Windows XP deals with 'virtual memory' starts here--> http://www.theeldergeek.com/paging_file.htm in particular, you should read the section on 'Sizing page file'

    If your system is slow, it is because it is overloaded or with applications that you run intentionally malicious (you do not give the basis of your belief that you are sure that you don't have a malware problem).  Take a look at the processes listed in the Task Manager.  Do you know what they all are?  Do you really need for each of them to run?  Those who take the biggest percentage of cycles CPU?  Don't bother looking at the 'memory' column - which will really help you in determining which slows things.

    If your system is like most, you'll probably multiple instances of svchost.exe running.  It's normal.  You can use Process Explorer to see what svchost is doing (details here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/list-services-running-under-svchost.exe-process/) but you can try this first easy way:

    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    In the black command prompt window, type the following line and press enter

    Tasklist/SVC /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe".

    [This is an 'eye' tiny 'eff' after the slash - abbreviation for filter]

    You will get a list like this:

    Image name PID Services
    ========================= ====== =============================================
    Svchost.exe 1148 DcomLaunch, TermService

  • 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
