If only want to increase virtual memory or heap size of a specific application, you can it via command prompt. For example, for java applications, in the command prompt, you can specify:\n\n-java -Xmx1000 -Xms1000 -jar application_name.jar

Your computer has so much memory (128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1GB etc ...)  But sometimes your computer needs more, so Microsoft found a way to utilize a portion of your hard drive and called it "Virtual Memory".

If you're not running at least 2 GB of RAM I would not suggest that you do this!  But here's how you accomplish what you've asked for.click start, then control panel.  Then performance and maintenance, then system.  On the tabs that open up click advanced.  In the box marked performance click settings.  In the new window that opens click advanced.  At the bottom of this page you will see memory settings, on the next page that opens click no cached memory.  Click OK and apply your done

i'd say it's your RAM. no other good solution except to buy a new one. but i do have a slightly improving solution (but far from as good as buy a new RAM). go to control panel, open the system, and click the performance tab.\n\ncheck the "adjust for the performance" and click "apply". DON'T click on the "ok" button first. click on "advanced" tab.\nin the "virtual memory" section, click change.\n\nincrease the seize of the paging. this won't be a problem if you have a lot of free space on your hard disk. this be will added up to your physical memory(RAM) as a virtual memory. it will not be as fast as physical RAM, but will at least increase your computer's speed. click "ok" and that's it...

1. to allot more ram to graphic from your total ram, in the bios startup, choose the graphic option, then try to allot the highest ram from the available option. but this usually has fixed to a maximum 128 mb for graphic.\n\n2. increase your virtual memory. right click on my computer, go to properties, go to Advance tab, under Performance, click on Setting, go to Advance tab, you will see there a option for Virtual Memory on the bottom side of the windows, and there will display the current virtual memory set in your computer. then u click on change, set your initial size and maximum size of virtual memory and then click on Set. click OK, to close all windows, and then restart your computer. after restarting, check back your virtual memory by click on properties on my computer again.

yes.  because virtual memory is actually a part of the secondary storage i.e. your hard disk which is used by system temporoarily for swap files. \n\nif your primary memory is too low, then more of secondary storage is used up as virtual memory causing ur machine to slow down.

I think you are using one of window operating system. In windows virtual memory automatically assigns as much as the amount of RAM you are having. If you increase RAM, the virtual memory will also be automatically increased. If you want to change the virtual memory manually do thse steps\n\n1. Open 'Control Panel'\n\n2. Double click on 'System Properties'\n\n3. Click on 'Advanced' tab\n\n4. Click on 'Settings' button in 'Performance' frame\n\nNext steps may be different according to the OS you are using. I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2. If it is different from your machine, you can explore from this point and find it.\n\n5. Click on 'Advanced' tab from the 'Performance Options' window\n\n6. Here you can see the total page file size of virtual memory, Click on 'Change' button near to it.\n\n7. Change the initial and maximum size of virtual memory you needed

There are several possibilities that you may try:\n\n1. Add more Ram memory.\n2. Fit a faster processor to your mother board.\n3. Fit a vidio card with at least 64 Meg.\n4. All of the above.\n5. Purchase a newer and faster computer. The unit that you have described is quite old it would seem. DVD technology has left your machine far behind.

You can compare the RAM in you computer to the workspace on a desk. The more memory you have, the larger the workspace and the smoother things run. Windows uses "Virtual Memory" to make sure you always have some RAM free to use. It writes some of the less important items to a "Swap File" or" Page File" on your hard drive, and keeps them ready to be reloaded after you finish using which ever program needed the memory more. Its kind of like taking the least important papers off of your desk and putting them in a drawer to make room for something more important. They're still there, safe and sound waiting for you to grab them up again, but they're not on your dektop with everything else. Understand the metaphor? You can run out of Virtual Memory for a couple of reasons. Is your hard disk getting pretty full? Since your hard drive is where the "Swap file" needed for virtual memory is stored, with your disk full, you may no longer be able to store the file in its entirety. If thats not the case, you may want to change the size of your Virtual Memory. You can do it by right clicking on MY COMPUTER go to PROPERTIES, click on the ADVANCED tab, where you see it say PERFORMANCE  click on SETTINGS, then click on the ADVANCED tab, down where it says VIRTUAL MEMORY click change. Usually "System Managed Size" works fine, but if you're having trouble with this one, then up it a couple hundred MB with "Custom Size." And of course, getting more RAM never hurts either.

Start --> control panel --> system --> advanced tab --> performance.  Change virtual memory.\n\nBut first I would do a disk clean up and defrag (start --> all programs --> accessories --> system tools --> disk cleanup and after completed, defrag.)

go to control panel, system, advanced, performance, advanced. down on the bottom you can change the amount of virtual memory

Right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Performance Options, and it should be around there.  It might be different for different versions of Windows.  If you're running into your virtual memory all the time, though, you might want to think about upgrading the amount of physical memory in your computer.

Virtual memory is a part of your hard drive that your OS fixes to load the programs while running. The physical memory or the RAM may not be sufficient to accomodate all the running programs, in that case a part of hard disk is allocated to the  program so that when ever that part is required to be executed  can be loaded into RAM.\n\nIf you are using Windows XP:\nAdvanced -> Performance -> Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual Memory -> Change
