Have recently seen a warning message that my virtual memory is low and that
Windows is working to increase it. Have not had a lot of programs running
at same time, so really perplexed about why my virtual memory is low. Last
msg I saw regarding this subject was about 15 minutes ago and only thing I
was busy with was defragmenting an external drive. Can someone give me some
suggestions on how to correct this problem? Hopefully in layman's terms.
Thanks
 
Windows increasing it means that it has fixed it itself. Perhaps the paging
file had just.. shrunk 0_0

Let windows manage the size of the pagefile. A small pagefile can cause
this problem. By the way, isn't defrag a heavy user of virtual memory?
