VIRTUAL MEMORY LOW

V

Vasilj

I have a message "Virtual memory low"
My RAM is 384 MB.
My original settings for virtual memory were:
C: Paging size 192 - 384
F: Nothing
I change it to the following:
C: 2- 50 MB
F: 100-700.
I still get message Virtual Memory Low. Please help.

Hi, if i'm not mistaken, your paging size should start
with 1.5 times your memory, therefore minimum=576, and
maximum at least double that, or about 1150.
you might need more room on your c drive to make that
available when it needs it, and since you probably use
your c drive for all programs, it would be better to have
a paging file on a drive you use less or not at all. i
dont know what you have for partitions, so what do you do
with 'd' and 'e'? if 'f' is the next drive you use less,
put the above custom settings on 'f' and change 'c' to
minimum 384 and maximum 384. the operating sys will need
it for other reasons just in case, and the less used
drive will be used for the paging file by design. just
changing the c drive paging to above should help, but the
latter is option is better and even necessary if space is
an issue on the c drive. good luck. hope that helps.
