  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, 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 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 start just making 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're doing and why you need to do it at all.

  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 keeps needing to adjust it.

  Some antivirus 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.

  Here's what my poor Task Manager looks like:

  http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/8817/taskmanagerk.PNG

  On your system, what are the processes on top using the more virtual memory?

  If you need another set of eyeballs on your parameters, describe the top 5 applications that see you in the Task Manager using virtual memory and then 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.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• Question 1: Low virtual memory does that mean and how do I fix? Question 2: The corrupt system file that should not be removed. How do I correct?

  Question 1: what low virtual memory mean and how do I rectify.   I am invited this could change my access to some applications and the pc is very slow.

  Question 2: AVG pushes me that I have a corrupted system file, in a white space, I think, that should not be removed.  How do I rectify this?

  Check to see if the following is useful.

  For Windows XP:

  a. click Start, right click my computerand then click Properties.

  b. in the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

  (c) in the results pane, click settings.

  d. in the Performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

• Error message says that my system's virtual memory is too low.

  Hello, I have increased the paging files such minimum and maximum values suggested by various sources of help and my computer seems to be running a little faster, but negligible so. I also understand that moreRAM will help, however, I have the maximum RAM my laptop can take internally (256 MB). Is there such a thing asexternal RAM I can get to increase my RAM? I work withWindows XP Home Edition and I understand that I need a minimum of 256 MBRAM for my virtual memory to be ok. Verification ofRAM to my system , I see that I have 256 MB of RAM (physical memory), however, only about 10 MB ofRAM (physical memory) is available for use (I got this information from thesystem information tool). I don't know what that means. Should I have 256 MB ofRAM available for use for my virtual memory to be ok? My hard drive is 20 GB but I have about 0,6 GB of free space, so I think I have anexternal hard drive in order to have more space. Can get an external hard drive to upgrade my RAM? Any help
  very much appreciated. Tony.

  Hi, I sympathise with your situation, but my answer may not be what you want here, even though I think you'll find credible and useful information (I have a degree in computer service technology (end of the 1980s, but I do not work in this area).)

  In the computing environment today with all web 2.0 and 3.0, sites which consist usually of a large number of graphics and flash type software, you must have much more memory...
  For simplicity, there are memories of basically two types that apply to your situation, and it is the RAM (to run your software as applications etc., then the memory of your hard drive (to do most of the work...)
  The computer, I am writing about this time is about five to seven years of age. He had 500MB of RAM when I bought it and 80 GB of hard drive memory. Then about two years ago I started to have virtual memory issues so I bought a stick of 1 GB of ram and installed what brought my RAM to 1.5 GB of ram and it took care of the issue of virtual memory. (I use a Dell Dimension 2400). I also bought a terabyte external drive to organize the future all downloads and transferred from the stuff that was on my computer on the external drive to free up some memory hard drive of my computer.
  Here are some points to remember and a recommendation or two. If you can, buy you a bar of RAM and install it... (instructions should come with the RAM on how to install it and you can also search the creator of computer Web site for assistance). It's a fairly simple process which consist essentially of find a connector available on your motherboard near where your already installed ram is located and pop in the newly purchased RAM stick. You should be able to get at least another stick of ram of 256 MB and this should help.
  You also have another problem, however, you indicate that you have seulement.6 GB memory hard drive of 20 GB. From my experience, when you use beyond the mark to halfway to the memory of your drive hard your computer can start to slow you down to the bottom of issues.
  20 GB hard drive is not really much memory in standard today for the internet. If I was buying a computer today, I would get at least a terabyte of disk hard memory (and at the very least, the computer should have at least 500 GB memory hard drive). You could probably make it thereby half, but I mainly throw these numbers out there so you can get some perspective on how just 20 GB is not get it for the internet today, especially if you use your laptop or desktop (20 GB might be great for palm pilot but even these computer really little, I forgot the name off the coast of the hand have more than 20 GB...)
  I hope that this information was of some use to you. You can find me doing my thinghttp://www.informationinternetmarketing.com/
  Good luck

  P.S. I just noticed you said you within your capabilities of ram in your computer... If you can not increase ram, then you should try to increase virtual memory... It is recommended that you increase the virtual memory by 1.5 times greater than the normal setting. Below is a step by step method, retrieved from http://www.delete-computer-history.com/increase-virtual-memory.html

  How to increase virtual memory?

  In Windows XP

  1. on start and then click Control Panel.
  2. click on performance and Maintenanceand then click System.
  3. on the Advanced tab, under performance, click settings.
  4. under the Advanced tab, under virtual memory, click on change.
  5. under drive [Volume label], click the drive that contains the swap file that you want to change.

  
  6. under paging file size for selected drive, click custom size check box. You can enter the amount of memory you wish to book for virtual memory by entering the initial and maximum size.
  7. click on set
  When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
  Special note: You must choose the same amount for the initial size and maximum size. This will stop your CPU from the pagefile evolving.

  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.

  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:

  Hello

  What operating system is installed in your PC?

  For Vista:

  Right-click on MY computer, and then select advanced system settings.

  On the Advanced tab, select performance--> click the settings button and select adjust for best performance.

  Now select the tab advanced at the top.

  below, you will see virtual memory. Select Edit. Note the amount which is to the right of the recommended. Select custom size and put this number in size initial and maximum size, then together, then OK.

  Your PC must be restarted.  Later when the reboot is complete and you have logged in to windows, you should notice a faster response from your PC.

  Now in the start menu-> type %tmp% and select the temp folder. Inside the temp folder... Everything you can delete. It won't hurt a thing that all files are exactly what suggests the name of the folder.

  Temporary files serve no purpose after an installation of program/utility or surf the web for a month or two and should be removed from time to time through this method.

  Now you should have a faster desktop PC.

  Congratulations! Your have polished your desktop PC for the fastest possible response given the amount of RAM and video card is installed.

  You can improve even more as a result of the recommendation below.

  I recommend that you upgrade your RAM at least 2 GB of appropriate guaranteed compatible RAM memory important manufacturer (Kingston, Crucial, Geil, OCZ)

  When you upgrade the amount of physical RAM installed, you can go back to the advanced system settings and reselect the Performance, then select set to improve the appearance.

  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:

  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.
