Virtual Memory Error

[Guest]

I have a user that if he leaves his laptop on overnight he has a low virtual memory error in the morning when he comes in. He reboots and works fine the rest of the day. I have run spybot and ad-aware, defraged his hard drive (>10 gigs free) removed weatherbug and a stock ticker program he had installed and verified all other apps on the laptop are standard for this location. He has 512 meg of RAM and I set virtual memory at 525 and 525. McAfee is current and runs on logon and at noon each day
Thanks for any ideas. I'm lost on this one.

I don't know if this is the solution, but your virtual
memory is too low. Always make your virtual memory twice
the size of your internal memory size. So if you have
512MB RAM make your virtual memory 1024 - 1024.

Might work.

If this doesn't work, you may have an application with a
memory leak.

your minimum virtual memory size should be at least 1.5 time the amount of
RAM.
your maximum is set at 3 times the amount.

I set my min and max for teh same value though as it gives you a bigger
page file and reduces the amount of time when the OS increases it
