  • Windows Virtula memory minimum too low

    I get this error message - "virtual memory Minimum too low Windows - your system is low on virtual memory paging file. During this process, application memory for some applications may be denied. "I have read HP on how to reset virtual memory and did.  I market too low because when I open my browser sometimes it cannot open emails, etc.. I have a Compaq Presario SR2032X with memory 2 slots; 256 MB and 256 MB. I removed almost all of my files and put on a memory stick. I removed all the programs that I don't use.  Is it possible to remove the virtual memory paging file?  I wonder if I need to buy more memory so that will fix the problem. I would appreciate your help to solve this problem. Thank you.

    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.

    Kind regards

  • I have a message saying "windows virtual memory is low"

    I'm using windows xp (32) bits and a message keeps coming up saying "Windows virtual memory is low" what can I do about it please can someone tell me? ".

    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:

    Since the implementation of the Microsoft Answers forum does not ask for any kind of information system 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..

    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.

    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Provide the password/OK to the UAC prompt, and a command prompt opens. At the prompt, type:

  • I have two main e-mail accounts and mail is "forwarding" emails sent to one account to the other older account, they arrive a few hours later. Not sure why it's duplicate my emails at all. How can I stop this?

    Kind of hard to explain in the title... who probably is meaningless.

    Basically, I used to use a BTinternet email for any account. But over the years, I went to my iCloud email account. I have both implemented in mail because I still have the BTinternet account that is linked to many things, despite always use iCloud for the new things now.

    However, when I get a message that was sent to my new iCloud account originally, it appear a new message in my BTinternet a few hours later. And it's quite annoying! Makes me think I have a new email, but this is the one I read Twitter.com.

    It's as if there's some rule set up causing Mail to transmit all messages sent to my email from iCloud, to my BTinternet email. I have no idea why this is happening. There is no actual 'rules' put in place for this in my Mail preferences. Don't know what it could be.

    Any ideas?

    Check iCloud.com/Mail, click on the gear at the bottom left, select Preferences, then accounts. The iCloud account is set up to transfer emails?
