Maybe you should delete some non essential stuff off your computer. Is this an old computer or a new one. If it is old you might want to buy a new one.\n\nI would try this:\ndisk cleanup and defrag\nthen go to \nmy computer\nc drive right click to bring up box\nclick on properties\ntools\nCheck now\nrun that program to see if it clears up any problems.

A few tips for getting your  PC to run a little better.\n\n1. Right click My Computer\n> Click Properties  \n>Click Advanced tab at the top.\n>In the Performance box click settings,\n>Click Adjust for best performance and Apply.\n2. In the same window click on the Advance tab.\n>in the Virtual Memory box click Change,\n>In the Paging file size for selected drive click Custom size,\n>You can put what you want in the initial size, depending on how much hard drive space you have, I put about 2000-3000, it is not going to work like upgrading RAM, but it does help, when you've determined how much to put in click OK, then apply. You might have to restart your computer.

first of all your the virtual memory is in reference to the swap file that windows uses on your hard drive . there could be several causes for your dilemma .\nstep 1.  right click "my computer"\n\nsystem properties should pop up\nstep 2. click the performance tab\n\nyou should see a virtual memory button near (but not at) the bottom right.\nclick that button\n you should see two options, one is two let windows manage virtual memory, and one to specify the amount of memeory, I highly recommend that you let windows manage memeory if you dont, because if you let windows manage it , windows will do whatever it takes to Make more memory available in the swap file.  if you already have windows managing it then something else is wrong\neither one of two things\n1. you do not have enough space on your hard drive . in this case you need delete unecessary files and programs, in general you should always make sure that free hardrive space does not go below 10%, 15 % just to be safe.\n\n2. your swap file could be corrupted. in this case your going to have to delete the current swap file, but you cannnot do it within windows. so you have to shut down and start up in pure dos.\n\nwhen you start up in dos Type in (without quotes") "chdir C://windows"  you may even already in this directory if so then go to the next step type(without quotes) " del win386.swp".\n then restart your system . windows will create another win386.swp swapfile upon start up , so expect a longer than usual start up . if you really dont know your way in dos or if the instructions arent clear enough. just e-mail me at Fuzzyclutter @yahoo.com i will try and clarify.

usually because you don't have enought memory installed

You probably have spyware/adware. This is the leading cause of these types of problems...more than insufficient RAM it seems. I know you probably have an antivirus, but it most likely does NOT have an antispyware. \n\n1.)Restart you system in safemode with networking (using F8 during the startup process to get to the advance startup menu) \n2.)Download LavaSoft's Ad-Aware (http://tinyurl.com/bcknm): Next your way till you get to the end of the install, the scan will start automatically after updating\n3.) What to look for in an Ad-Aware scan: The NEW CRITICAL OBJECTS are the spyware/adware installed on your system. \n4.) At the end of the scan you will see checkboxes for each malware on the system, either click each box OR right click the name of the first item and choose "Select all Objects"\n5.) Click next. \n6.) Close the scan using the 'X' in the top right\n\nBet your system runs faster after doing this!!!

If you have WinXP or 2000, click Ctrl-Alt-Delete and select Task Manager. click the "processes" tab. There may be too many programs running at one time. You might have to do some research on the Web to see what these programs are and what they do, to see if those programs are mandatory. Some of them could also be spyware. \n\nBasically you have two options at this point.\n\n1. If all of these programs are mandatory to run, you'll need to increase your virtual memory. If you're using WinXP, right-click "my computer", properties, advanced, click "settings" under "performance", click the "advanced" tab, and click "change" under "virtual memory". If you don't know anything about virtual memory, I would NOT recommend changing these numbers at all. You'll want to contact a computer specialist. \n\n2. In the "processes" tab of Task Manager", highlight the program that you don't want to run, and click "end process". Again, you'll want to do research and see if you need to run these certain programs. \n\nHope this will help you.

you installed virtual memory? Are you sure?

Well yes and no, You can specify an amount of your hard drive to be used for virtual memory which is basically ram. Windows will decide the amount automatically but you can change theses settings. \n\nIf you want to do this. \n\n1. Right click on the "My Computer" icon and click on "Properties"\n2. Click on the "Advanced" Tab\n3. Then under "Performance" click the "Settings" button\n4.  In the "Settings" Box that opens click on "Advanced" again. \n5.  The bottom option lets you specify the amount of virtual ram you want.

Virtual Memory is what Windows uses to free up your RAM.  The virtual memory is stored on your hard drive.  When Windows says your virtual memory is low, that means that you have so many things open that both your RAM and your virtual memory are nearly full.  If this happens to you often, you should either buy and install more RAM for your computer, or you should increase the virtual memory on your computer.  This is normally a judgement call based on whether you have a small amount of RAM or a small amount of hard drive space.  If you don't have much RAM, buying more is much preferred. If you do enough RAM, you should increase your virtual memory by right-clicking on My Computer, clicking on the Advanced tab, in the Performance box click Settings, click on the Advanced tab there, in the Virtual Memory box click Change, and then increase the maximum size by 1.5 to 2 times, you may also want to increase the minimum size some to force it to be larger.  Then click OK on everything and restart your computer.

What OS...?  If WinXP - then change the setting:\n     Right Click on > My Computer\n     System Properties > \n     Performance Options > \n     Advanced > \n     Virtual Memory > \n     System Managed Size\n\nIf other OS (like Win95) then similar way to adjust (good rule of thinm is 2x real memory - so 512MB RAM = 1,024 VM.

Restart your pc. You might be running low on memory.

you simply do not have enough memory to run everything you have installed. just upgrade your system or simply uninstall un-need programs or just reinstall your windows\n\nThat usually happens when theres to much error on the system

Hi. You should set your virtual memory to 1 1/2 times your actual memory. If you have 128MB memory, you should set virtual memory to 192MB. On Win XP, you should right-click on My computer, go to Properties, go to Advanced, select Settings under Performance, click the Advanced tab, then Change button at bottom of this screen. Select Custom Size, and put 192 in the initial AND max sizes. This will probably cause your system to have to reboot. \nCheers.

This means that your actual RAM is small, maybe 256 Mb or 512 MB and you are using applications that need more, like for example a video editing software. In this case the OS use a small part of your HDD as a temporary RAM solution to overcome the problem of less enough memory. When also this temporary RAM (also known as virtual memory) is not enough, the OS tells you that is increasing it's size to match the demands of your applications. Since virtual memory uses HDD space for temporary RAM, this is very very slow compared to a traditional RAM. My suggestion is to upgrade your RAM, at least double it. If you are unsure about what type of RAM you need, i will advice to go to www.crucial.com They have a cool tool called Memory Advisor Tool which can help you find out about the type of RAM you need. You can also scan your system with Crucial to find out, it's safe and doesn't contain spy-ware. At the end, they will (of course) suggest you to buy from them the right memory, but at the same time they will give you the info about what you need.\n\n\nSo, the solution in few word: Upgrade RAM.

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...

Check your ram, you may have to get a bigger motherboard, because it may not have enough memory to handle the application.
