Why I'm still out of virtual memory in XP?

• my computer continues to run out of virtual memory

  I deleted programs and defragged my computer.

  To make sure that we are talking about the same thing.

  Exactly how do you know that you run 'Virtual memory' specifically?

  Virtual memory is actually a 'swap file' specially allocated space on the hard drive. Most of the facilities have it set to automatically expand and shrink as needed. If freeing space on your hard disk and Defrag is reasonable.

  The amount of used and free space on the hard drive you have?

  You should also check the amount of virtual memory allocated.

  1. Open the 'System' using the shortcut dialog
  2. Notice how ' installed memory (RAM): "you have.

  3. Press or click on advanced system settings. You may be prompted for an administrator password or to confirm your choice.

  4. On the Advanced tab, under performance, tap or click settings.

  5. Press or click the Advanced tab, and then under virtual memory, press or click on modify.

  6. Claire runs it automatically the size of pagefile for all drives check box.

  7. Under drive [Volume label], tap or click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change.

  8. Press or click Custom size, type a new size in megabytes in the initial size (MB) or maximum size (MB) box, type or click on set and then press or click OK.

  In general, the recommendations are that you should have 1 to 3 times your RAM memory allocated to virtual memory.   If I have enough free space on the hard drive, I personally prefer the size of the max and min even swap file.

  Originally, in the 1980s and the beginning of the 90s HD space is at a premium and so was RAM (I paid $5000 for my first computer with 2 MB RAM and 80 MB of free disk space!). It made sense to let the system allocate more swap file space according to the needs, and then free it up. But this approach also has the effect of fragmenting the HD.  Now ship computers with RAM that is literally orders of magnitude larger than at the time and so are HD, in fact, if you have lots of RAM, say more than 4 GB for a home user, I've seen some recommendations to minimize the size of the swap file. These same days budget computers come with more than enough disk space that continuously allocate enough virtual memory is not a constraint.

  If you set a constant pagefile size, it's probably a good idea to defragment the paging file too. This requires special tools to defragmentation.

  FYI: this is the wrong forum and category to ask this question. You should ask her in the Windows forum.

• Computer suddenly very slow. Warning message: "out of virtual memory. What now?

  Family using Windows XP Edition on Dell Dimension desktop.

  What is the processor and RAM how much your computer have? Make a right-click on the icon my computer on your desktop and select properties for this information.

  Try Ctrl + Alt + Delete, select Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Under Commit Charge, which is the Total, limit, and the pic?

  I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

  If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

• message box from lack of virtual memory being received twice now; need explanation & advice on how to remedy

  Hello everyone,

  May 19 and still today, May 20, I saw an opportunity where a dialog box open above the taskbar, indicating that the virtual memory of my computer was too low and the system took some sort of action (I don't remember that well)... and some of my applications could be affected.

  May 19, low virtual memory warning appeared while I was trying to delete some 25 000 stored "potentially unwanted programs", quarantined by my software off that McAfee security, but was unable to do - my computer basically locked in place.  I managed to go Windows and remove all the .bup files in the McAfee VirusScan quarantine folder.

  Today, on May 20, I spent about an hour playing a game on my computer called, 'Ocean Beach 2. '  After finishing, my screen started to be slowly re-posted, and it was at this time that I noticed this insufficient virtual memory notification even appear just above the taskbar once more.   (The dialog box said also click tasks 'Help' for more information on the icon bar.  I have not done so... but there is no information here... only some documentation about a "language bar".

  I have a Dell Dimension 3000 Mid Tower computer model, WIN XP, SP3, Intel Pentium 4 (hyperthreading), 3.00 Ghz CPU, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB hard drive with a little more 27.0 GB of free space on it.  (McAfee security software is provided free by Cox Communications (my ISP).  I run a full scan of Malwarebytes FREE version just to make sure I didn't have some malware that is present; everything is okay there.

  I would appreciate if anyone can enlighten me as to why I got these notifications "low virtual memory"; does that mean I have a serious problem with the operating system. and I can do to solve this problem and prevent any recurring anthing?

  Thank you very much in advance for your time and any help!

  First, when a multiplicity of files and folders are created and deleted, it is always a good idea to optimize the system before and after that, in order to ensure that the file system is stable...

  also a melody is always a good idea to do at least once a month.

  Open Explorer > right click on the drive letter, select Properties, go to the Tools tab, run a disk check.

  then reboot and do a Defrag.

  either way, do a defrag can be problematic, given that you found problems of lack of virtual memory.

  Here is more information about the feature:

  Hello

  Unless you are an experienced user, you should allow Windows to manage this setting for you. Your problem may occur if the default settings have been changed somehow. First to diagnose your problem, you must follow these steps to ensure that Windows runs properly your virtual memory settings.

  1. find out how virtual memory is managed. Right click on 'My Computer' and choose 'properties '. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Performance click settings.
  2. which opens your performance Options. Click the Advanced tab. For private users 'typical' Processor Scheduling & Memory use must be set to "programs".
  3. under virtual memory, click change.
  4. which opens the virtual memory options. If you have more than one hard drive, make sure that your primary hard drive is selected under "Drive".
  5. under "Paging File Size for selected device" check the box indicating the size of the managed system.
  6. click OK in all the 3 boxes to close off these settings and restart your computer

  Good bye

• 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.

• My PC is always low virtual memory. Why does.

  Even when my PC does not all open programs, I still have a warning box will appear to tell me that windows is low on virtual memory.

  I run XP home edition 2004.

  I recently xferred my photo + music files to an external hard drive, but I still tell me that memory is low!

  What is the cause + I can do anything to put this right?

  Explorer is too slow and often egg or begins to force me to use the Task Manager to close the program does not. Is this related to this memory problem?

  Two points:

  1. What are you describe is a function of two or three of the following:

  (a) who is not enough of physical memory (also called RAM)

  (b) too many programs and processes running (perhaps due to a malware infection)

  (c) incorrect virtual memory configuration
  2. you're confused memory and hard disk space when you say "I recently xferred my photo + music files to a drive external hard but I said always not the memory is low!
  This page explains the difference:
  http://www.worthgodwin.com/computer-lessons-blog/2008/02/what-is-RAM-what-is-hard-drive-plain.html
  Getting back to your question, you must help us! You need to tell us what you have. Are the following:
  -brand, model and model number of your PC
  -SP level
  -amount of RAM
  If you are unsure, do a click right my computer and select Properties. Only necessary information should already be showing under the general tab to keep this window open for more later...
  -virtual memory setting
  To do this, click on the Advanced System Properties window already open tab. Under performance, click settings. In the new performance Options window, click the Advanced tab. Under virtual memory, this figure is listed as the "Total paging file size for all drives"? Then click the button change.
  Assuming that C: drive is highlighted, I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that a custom size is activated (in general, which is not a good idea!). Out of curiosity, what are these two values?
  To make life a LOT easier, click on "System managed size". Then click on the Set button. Then click on the OK button. Then click on other buttons OK. Reset.
  If you click on the size of the managed system, you must stop to get these annoying messages. (But your work isn't always more. You need see if you have enough RAM, or if there is something on your PC, hogging memory).
  -size of the drive C: and the amount of free space available
  To do this, double-click my computer. Click view on the menu bar, and then select Details. Under "Drives", what are the values of the size total and free space on C:?
  -Tell us what antivirus or suite program you use. Is up to date?
  -tell us if you ALL post-SP3 (assuming you have SP3!) security updates installed or not
  -We say users of memory of the top 10 in the Task Manager
  To do this, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, click on the processes tab click on use of Mem. Click again. (This will give you the biggest users of memory above.) What are the processes of ten albums? And what are the values according to the uses of Mem for each of them?
  Manager tasks of maintaining open, click on the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

  The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. (But I doubt that you do!) Tell us about these figures.

  As soon as we have the above information, we will have an idea what your situation is.

  Since it's always a good idea to rule out malware (as malware uses a lot of memory, among other things!), you must do the following:

  First, run the portable Analyzer of SAS:

  Then, run the version FREE of MBAM (not the version pro or trial!):

• 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.

  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?

  This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

  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.

  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 are the best settings, or if you are not sure what should be your settings, follow these steps so that we can see what you have:

  No one can tell you that, without more information on your system.

  They can guess and suggest things like the committed Microsoft Support Engineer "experts":

  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.
