Virtual memory low

[Wes]

I keep getting that message. What are 2 or 3 things I can do to correct
this? 768 MG of RAM.

1) Your hard drive may be running low on free disk space.
Open Windows Explorer and right click on the drive icon (usually C
and click on the Properties option.

If the amount of free space displayed in the Properties window is
less than 10 percent of the total drive/partition size,
then low disk space is most likely the cause.

To fix this you can click on the 'Disk Cleanup' located near the bottom
right
of the Properties Window. In the 'Disk Cleanup' window place check marks
in the boxes that show a lot of drive space being consumed,
typically 'Temporary Internet Files', 'Recycle Bin', and 'Temporary Files'.

2) If you manually set the size of the pagefile you may need to increase it.
To change the pagefile size:
Click Start, and then select/click the Control Panel option.
Next click on the 'System' icon..

In the 'System Properties' windows click on the 'Advanced tab'.
Locate the box titled 'Performance' and click on the 'Settings' button
In the 'Performance Options' select the 'Advanced' tab.
Near the bottom you will see a box labeled 'Virtual Memory',
click on the 'Change' button.

In the 'Under Drive [Volume Label]' column, select the drive that contains
the paging file that you want to change the size or to create a new page
file.
Next, in the 'Paging file size for selected drive' box , click to select the
'System managed size' check box (this is the recommended default),
and then click Set.

If you decide to choose the 'Custom size' option,
then make certain that the 'Initial size' and 'Maximum size' values are at
least 1.5 times the actual amount of ram memory in your PC as a
starting point.Click the OK button 3 times to exit.

You will need to 'Restart' the computer for the changes to take effect.

1- Remove malware
2- Eliminate memory-intensive applications running in the background.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

I would be interested in seeing a Disk Defragmenter report . Open Disk
Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and click on Save
As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents Folder and post a
copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it is more
informative.

Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,
More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System
Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

I did that, but how do I "post a copy"? I'll wait to hear from you
before doing this next thing.
