Hi,

I was hoping someone could tell me why I get an error
balloon every time I restart my computer that says
Virtual memory low. It goes on to say other things, but
I have clicked on help and cannot find what is causing
this. Should I be concerned?
Thanks,
Diane

Without knowing more about your system, it's impossible to say, but I'd
guess you have tons of applications/services running in the backgroun
and/or virus infection and/or spyware. Here are general Windows
troubleshooting steps to start with:

1) scan with current antivirus using updated definitions; 2) remove
spyware with tools such as Spybot S&D (www.security.kolla.de) and/or
Ad-aware (www.lavasoftusa.com); 3) delete temporary and Temporary
Internet Files; 4) stop unnecessary services/programs from running at
startup. After making sure the computer is clean - does the problem
persist? If yes, then post back with details.

HTH,

Malke
