Virtual Memory

[Lorraine]

I keep getting a message saying my computer is low on
virtual memory. Then it says it is increasing virtual
memory, but it never does. I keep getting bounced.
Please help!

Right click My Computer/click on Properties/
click Advanced tab/in Performance click Settings/
click Advanced tab/

How many MB does it list for Virtual memory?
The default is usually 1.5 times the amount of RAM.

Did you reload XP at one time? If so,

Open Control Panel|ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS.
If there is an item named Intel Application Accelerator, remove it.

Now go to the Intel site, read the literature, and install the latest version.

If there is no such item in ADD/REMOVE, look here for good tips...
