| 459304 | 2006-05-31 03:08:00 | so i left my comp on for a couple of days on accident due to company and when i got back on it i had a lil pop up in the bottom right corner telling me that i was running low on virtual memory or something close to that.. it also said that it was creating more by doing something.. but what i was wondering if this happens when you leave your computer on to long or if i have some type of spyware thing thats causing this.. and if there is any thing to do to stop this.. i dont think its affecting my computer at all.. its just not nice to see something like that.. thanks in advance for any help on this | bpc575 (9791) | ||
| 459305 | 2006-05-31 03:28:00 | My virtual memory is 768MB. Not sure what the ideal is butyou can check it by... Right click My Computer> Properties> Advanced tab> in the performance box click "settings" then click on "Advanced" tab and your vitrual memory settings will be at bottom. You might just need to run a program like "Ccleaner" to clear out the clutter. |

You normally get warnings when the partition is getting too full.Or if something on your system has a memory leak. Then it doesn't matter how much space you have allocated to the pagefile, eventually it'll still fill up. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 459308 | 2006-05-31 08:22:00 | i cerainly would check what program you have running in the background. however it could simply be that you have set a small virtual memory and a scheduled program has started (ie AV scan). |

| 459310 | 2006-06-01 06:38:00 | Yes, a good clean shouldn't do it any harm. | Nyuuji (5460) | ||
| 459311 | 2006-06-01 09:45:00 | it says i have 1536MB... that seems like a lot... so should i just not worry about that lil message i got?? it all depends on how much ram you have. whats the "recommended minimum" ammount it says to have? (i assume you have 2k/xp) |
