?Virtual Memory? Help!

[Tim Brenner]

I always get this error "Windows - Virtual Memory Minimum
Too Low

Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is
increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.
During the process, memory requests for some applications
may be denied. For more information, see Help."

it keeps doing this even when barely anything is running!
and as soon as this message appears my computer starts
going really slow.

i have Windows XP Home with barely anything on it. 256mb
ram 80gb hard drive p4 2.2gh........its a good computer
but it just started doin this and i got no idea why it is
doing this its not a virus i scanned it and got rid of
all the spyware defraged it did a chkdsk...... i cant
find anything wrong with it!

Intel chipset? If you reloaded XP without first removing the Intel
Application Accelerator from Control Panel|ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, then this
could be the cause of virtual memory errors. Remove it now, and things
should clear up.

Then go here, read up, and install the latest I.A.A. - for greatest
efficiency (though it's not mandatory).

I also just checked when i hit CTRL ALT DEL and the task
manager up in the bottom right hand corner it says

Commit Chare: 928M/971M

on my other computer the first number is much much much
lower then the second number

also when i go to the performance tab it shows the Page
File Usuage History at full, using all of it i have no
idea what is causing it!??

thanks for the help

XP has never been reinstalled and i went to my add/remove
and i could not find the Inteal Application Accellorator
on the add/remove list so i could not even do it!

thanks
