Re: Virtual memory low



It could be that you are running low on free disk space. I would assume,
unless you've messed with the setup that the page file is set to win
managed, and with that little ram it would be about 384mb, which might be
insufficient for whatever apps you are running
IMO winxp requires 512mb of ram for any meaningfull performance

Well this popped up in the bottom tray and has done so on 2 of my 7 year
old
PC's/ I guess that explains why the pcs have been so slow lately.

The balloon that popped up says that the virtual memory is low so windows
is
going to do something with the page filing system (like increase it)
Is there anything that i can change myself to increase performance on my
lagging pc.
*Note that you can outrule malware, and a small 256 ram that i have on the
pc which is nothing to systems that are made nowadays.

Windows xp home edition OEM

Thanks so very much for your help-! ! ! !
