• Too much physical memory used.

  Hi, am windows XP 32 - bit professional edition on machine A Dell G280 with Intel Pentium IV 2.80 Ghz, with 512 MB of Ram, out of which 10 MB, I think that is used for graphics VGA or maybe. Thing is my system uses too much physical memory even when no ongoing work on this subject... ND who, at the time, is going painfully slow. Is it possible that I can release the physical memory usage? I would like to do a update Avast Anti virus installed.

• How can I get more memory? Should I go through Dell (it is a Dell computer)? I get the message too low virtual memory.

  I get the message "out of virtual memory"... In order to buy more memory, can I contact Dell for this (there is a Dell computer)?

  "Out of virtual memory" has nothing to do with the amount of physical RAM you have installed.  These errors are caused by incompatible programs, too little free capacity available on the hard drive, correctly configured virtual memory (you set it so Windows automatically manages) or sometimes even by a severely fragmented hard disk partition.

• Satellite 1100: Excel keeps freezing - too low virtual memory

  I have a satellite 1100. My Microsort Excel program keeps freezing (mainly when I print or you are trying to save) and then tells me to stop.

  So, I also have a message icon telling me that I am low on virtual memory. Microsoft stop related to memory being low?

  How can I increase the memory? Or do I just need a new laptop! Help, please.

  Hello

  Satellite 1100 is really an old classic, but he should be able to use common desktop applications such as Word or Excel with no problems
  Virtual memory also known under the name a paging file is a file on your disk (default C:\pagefile.sys) than Windows applications and use more physical memory (RAM) according to your needs. The default and the recommended of pagefile.sys size is 1.5 times the amount of physical memory. Virtual memory is the amount of physical memory and the pagefile. So, if your computer has 512 MB of RAM, there is a page file 768 MB by default, for a total of 1.25 GB of physical + virtual memory.

  So what to do in your case? Generally, the RAM upgrade should solve this problem. You can also try to increase the size of the pagefile.sys.
  This can be done in system-> tab advanced properties-> Performance settings-> advanced-> virtual memory change tab.

  After the change of virtual memory, you have to restart the laptop again.
  If this will not help then an upgrade of RAM would be required or a new laptop effective ;)

  Hi Brendan,

  Did you recent hardware or changes to the software to the computer before the show?

  Dllhost.exe is a process belonging to Microsoft Windows Operating System. The dllhost.exe file manages DLL based applications. This program is important for the stable and safe running of your computer and should not be terminated. DLLhost using lots of CPU may indicate a malware issue.

• AVG says using too much memory because multiple firefox is open, but I only see one.

  AVG regularly analyzes in the background. Lately he has demonstrated a popup window that says multiple applications of Firefox are running and using too much memory, so I should close some. But I can only see 1. Tried CTRL ALT DEL to see if I could find the answer, but only showed 1 firefox, and that he used more than 28 000. So I think that AVG is correct, but does not know how to see what who or where they are. They DO NOT display in the lower menu on the main screen, so I guess they are in the background. Do not have the virus, and Firefox, regularly updates itself. What should I do to fix?

  Hi cmich80220.
  It is true, that you should only be able to run only one instance of Firefox at the same time. I searched but could not find someone else with a similar problem. If the problem comes back to Firefox running slowly, you can consult this article for troubleshooting:

  Hope that helps.

• Satellite 4030 has much too much memory embedded - 66 MB not 64 MB

  Hi all

  I have a 2nd Satellite 4030 user who has far too much memory shipped! [66 MB not 64 mb]
  The maximum allowed to my machine is Total = 312 mb.

  I added a 256 MB stick in slot 1 memory to the supposed 64 MB on board & it does not start.
  I put back the original 128 MB & started stick & apparently, I have 66 MB of RAM?

  Adding to this 66 MB 256 = 314 MB! 2Mbmb more than max allowed.
  I tried 2 different sticks of 256 of ram to my other laptop Toshiba & still no boot [prove it is the amount of ram?]

  Am or work around for this I stuck running on only 192 MB?

  Help K Morton

  Hello Morton

  This is a very stupid situation. That I can see, nobody has written anything in the last 3 days and to be honest, it is not easy to say why this happens.

  I don't really have experience with these cases, but maybe you can try to update BIOS. Check Toshiba support page and try to update BIOS. Maybe BIOS values will be refreshed, and after that the memory will be displayed as it should be.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

• 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.

• Explorer.exe and svchost.exe using too much memory

  I have disabled the automatic updates after the last round of updates, and now, all of a sudden, explorer.exe and svchost.exe use too much memory... enough to interfere with other programs, I try to use.

  Help?

  Windows XP Professional - Svc Pack 3 processor: Intel (r) Pentium (r) D CPU 2.80GHz CPU speed: 2.73 GHz memory: 512 MB

  Why you turn off automatic updates?

  There are between the two options. I just set it to notify. When it is practical, I go to the Microsoft Update slte and use the custom (not Express) option. This gives the user full control of the update of trial.

  You will have a better idea of the cause of the problem using Process Explorer.

  Download Process Explorer.
  For more information about Process Explorer, see here:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

  With svchost.exe provide us a list of services using the process. There are number of processes that are using svchost.exe, so we need to know that we provide more targeted assistance. Right click on the process, click on properties and look at the Services tab.

  Solution Explorer. exe has a number of subprocesses. Select the sub-process, click Properties and check the Services tab.

  Have you recently changed all types of starting any service. This often leads to the problem. Users often disable a reflection of service to speed up the system performance. In practice what is done is of one or several programs to malfunction.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

• What can I do on my virtual memory is too low?

  Windows keep saying its increasin the memory, but 2nite the warnin says "no virtual memory!" Please sumone can help me

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  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!, 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.

  I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!
