You really haven't given us enough information to get focused help. In
many cases, the "low virtual memory" error occurs when the computer is
badly infested with malware. It can also occur as a bug in some
programs. If you changed your pagefile settings to ones that didn't
work well for your machine, you might also get that error.

Post back with all pertinent details. Here is a link that will help you
with that:

System managed size.

And make sure you click on the "Set" button twice before clicking on
OK.

Good luck

Hi Carlos,
First do you have enough Memory installed?, if yes then Right Click on My
computer and select Properties and On Properties Window Click on Advanced tab
and click on PerformanceButton and there Check the Option/Radio Button to let
Windows Handel it and click Ok and Close the window Reboot and see if the
System will behave itself.
HTH.
Please send back with your findings.

You dont need to set the memory to anything. low virtual memory occurs when
your RAM is running low and swap file memory suffers because of this. To
resolve this problem all you need to do is purchase some more RAM in the form
of a DIMM memory module. They come in various KB sizes eg 128KB, 256KB
512KB - 2 years ago i added 256KB to my system that was already running with
256KB and it stopped the low virtual memory message. Dimms are easy to
install - they simply slot in the memory slots of which most systems have 2
or 3 sometimes 4 - if you have two already installed you can remove one and
double the KB with the new DIMM. There is no configuration following adding
memory
