52366 2002-06-04 05:48:00 Need some help regarding 'Low Virtual Memory'

I am occassionally getting a 'Low Virtual Memory' message which is causing programs to shut down, especially at night whilst downloading stuff. How do I solve this?

I am running a
1700+ Athalon
40gig HD
256mb RAM
64 nVidia Graphics Card
Running XP Home

Its only a month old and am bewildered as to why it is doing this.

Cheers

Right click MYCOMPUTER>Properties>Performance>Virtual Memory and let us know which is tick ie.Either

Let Windows managed my Virtual memory settings or

Let me specify my own virtual memory settings.

Post back with the settings if it's the latter and that will give us a better idea.

Cheers,
Gil

52369 2002-06-20 23:59:00 how full is your HDD empty out all temp files and use windowwasher or washandgo you can define the virtual memory as well set min and max to same number 900 megs or so up to you ignore the warning then do a defrag of your hdd ,cacheman is a good memory program as well I run Fix-ot a very good program better than norton 2002 even for registry cleaning kiwibeat (304)
52370 2002-06-21 10:54:00 Just out of curiosity what brand is the computer and where did you
buy it from?

This problem seems to be common on XP ,I assume it is XP home edition.

I have XP pro with 256m of ram and have never had a VM problem,but the pc is custom built .

Go into the paging file settings and select system managed and see if that works.
