"virtual memory too low"


Question Posted Friday March 28 2008, 12:34 pm

Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. During this process, memory requests for some applications may be denied. For more information, see Help"

Okay, this means your memory on your hard drive is almost completely full. What you do to temporarily increase the memory is simply dumb ALL of you Internet browsing history, and the rest of the temporary internet folder. If you're using Internet Explorer, then click on Tools, then Internet Options, then under the General tab, go to Clear history. Click on Delete... A window should appear. Make sure everything is checked, and click Delete. Now, make sure your recycle bin is empty. That is the number one reason why the hard drive is almost full in the situation you're in. I've been there, and it sucks, I know...
Finally, may I recommend and external Hard Drive? If you're always constantly downloading movies, songs, or any files for that matter, it's not a bad idea to get an external hard drive with at least 512MB. That's about a half of Tera byte of memory. I hope I helped. If you have any more computer problems, please, don't hesitate to ask!

**Trkcrds21 is incorrect. The words "virtual memory", "RAM", and "memory" are different than "hard drive" or "storage". They are often confused.**
