• What to do when system is (sometimes) low virtual memory?

  Hello;
   
  ( 1) this laptop is quite obsolete by standard today, but there still some life in it!
  ... Compaq: Win XP Prof SP3
  .... 847 MHz, 128 MB RAM
  .... Processor AMD Athlon x 86
  .... Total physical memory 128 MB
  .... Total virtual memory 2.00 GB
  .... Hard Drive 20.GB, 50% free
  .... Internet connection broadband (for the automatic updates of Windows, antivirus updates, etc.)
   
  ( 2) I use it sometimes for some quick tasks, especially when other phones running long programs, and I feel more comfortable leaving them alone!
  The laptop in question has both floppy 3.5 "drive and the DVD, which makes it very convenient to run old programs (short) directly from floppy disks without having to copy it to a CD (or other media) and run the programs on a faster m/c.
  (although I did transfer a few times!)
   
  ( 3) recently, sometimes when I log-in {with no floppy or CD or any application (to my knowledge) running}, I get the following message:
  ... "Windows - virtual memory minimum
  ..... Your system's virtual memory.
  ..... Increases the size of your Windows virtual memory paging file.
  ..... " This process may be denied the requests of memory for applications more."
  I don't do anything.  Just wait for the system to calm down (which takes a while!), ignore some error messages "system program not responding" and then restart the system.
   
  ( 4) my question is:
  a... Is there a way (not at risk) practice to increase theVirtual Memory on a given (even on request) system?
  b... Depends on the physical memory and hardware VM system, and unless one or both are upgraded, you can do nothing about the virtual machine?
   
  Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello;
   
  ( 1) I changed the size of emory Initial & MaximumVirtual Mto 2000 MB each and ignored VM = 1.5 * RAM.
  Following system starts (so far) have not displayed the Windows message:
  ""Minimum virtual memory".
  noted above in the OP.
   
  ( 2) if it is a temporary solution, or the only solution in the circumstances (mobile no stretch), I'm not sure!
  I would mark the question as answered for now, subject to more detailed advice.
   
  Kind regards.

• Insufficient virtual memory. How can I fix this?

  My machine is communicate me often that my VM is too low

  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.  It could also mean that the settings were never properly defined
  in the first place when a XP was installed everything first.
  To see what your current, make settings right click my computer, properties, advanced, performance, Advanced tab, virtual memory, settings
  then click the button change.
  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.
  The best setting for the size of swap 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 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:
  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.
  Without this information system, suggestions for adjustments are more likely to make only assumptions.
  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).
  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..
  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.
  Here's an example of what looks like my poor task (including the column virtual memory information) Manager:

  On your system, what are the top 5 processes that use virtual memory?

  I have 2 g but only available in virtual memory 1.96

  No doubt, but since MS answers forums does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we do not know much about your system and my crystal ball goes bowling Tuesday.

  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 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.

• 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:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Application Popup
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 26
  Description:
  Application popup: Windows - virtual memory Minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.
  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?
