Re: Virtual memory leading to complete collapse of all programs



If pgae size is system managed, adding more RAM increases size (default
setting 1.5 times RAM). Low virtual memory message is a generic message and
more often is caused by "low system resources" due to programs not releasing
resources when closed or "idling" - usually when multiple windows and
applications are running.

The following from your post may be indicative - "...all open windows and
prrms stop working ...".

This is a long and bad one. Virtual Memory low was 1st error indicated.
After
a while, all open windows and prrms stop working and automatically
shutdown.
Restart wouldn't work so i have to do hard reboot. Would solve problem for
a
little while but same thing reoccurs .

I upgrade to 3 gigs of Ram to solve virtual memory shortage but problem
persists. Especially bad when I click out of screen saver. Open windows
are
not complete and can't be closed.

Launching Microsoft word completely freezes computer. Cannot access that
prgm anymore.

Virus?
