What does a 'virtual memory' error message mean?

C

Christine

Several times recently I have received an error message that says "Virtual
memory minimum too low." What does this mean and what can I do to fix it? My
computer is only 4 years old and has enough juice to operate the few basic
applications I have been running when this error message has appeared. In the
past I have had plenty of apps running with no problems. I do regular
housekeeping like disk clean-up, error checking, and defragging. Also, it has
happened relatively soon after restarting the computer. Any help is greatly
appreciated so thank you in advance.

The usual meaning of this message is that the pagefile is too small. Those
things that you are doing have little bearing on your problem (which doesn't
mean that you should not do them).
The setting for the size of the pagefile that works best
for most people is "system managed".

Jim;
Where do I go to see what the pagefile is set at? I have never changed it on
my computer (I didn't even know what it was till you told me). Wouldn't it
have been set at 'system managed' at the factory? And if so, is there
anything I can do to prevent the error message in the future?

How much RAM?

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.

No, my computers, right out of the box, have the min size at some very low
value and the max size set at 1.5 ram.
"System managed " size will prevent this error from happening unless and
until there is no free disk space left.
Another poster has told you how to get to the setting of the size of the
pagefile. This setting requires administrative privileges.

You did not answer my question about how much RAM is installed. If you
right click on My Computer (often this is a Desktop icon) and select
Properties this information is displayed on the General tab.

Looking at your commit charge figures from Task Manager and deducting
the pagefile of 768 mb I conclude that you have 512 mb RAM installed.
Now based on the Commit Charge figures, both Total and Peak, it is clear
that your system is using the pagefile and using the pagefile is much
slower than using RAM. Given that you have seen "low virtual memory"
messages I would hazard a guess that you are using more at other times
than the commit charge figures you have advised.

With the situation disclosed you could improve system performance by
other adding more RAM or by making changes to the programmes or the way
you use programmes. If you advise your computer make and model we could
the capacity of your computer for adding RAM. Adding RAM to most
computer is relatively inexpensive if installed by the user.

The other alternative is to look at the programmes you are using and
ascertain whether they are loading at StartUp, and if so whether they
can be changed to an on demand basis.

What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements. The more common
Norton (Symantec) and McAfee are resource hungry and you will find many
posting here use freeware alternatives. Most feel they are better served
by their replacement programme.

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Do you leave the computer on 24/7?

I strongly suspect that a recent XP update — perhaps even SP3 itself — is
causing this problem. It recently started happening in one of my XP systems and
also in a friend's XP system. Both computers had been running for at least a
couple of years without even a hint of a virtual memory problem until then.
Doubling the size of the exclusive partition I use for the page file from 1GB to
2GB seems to have solved my problem.

The warning occurred in my system when there was nothing except XP running. It
would even pop up on the screen as I was shutting down the computer. Even with
warnings, the page file at no time became larger than 51MB or about 5% of the
space it had to expand in. Now, with a 2 GB playing field at its disposal, it
still stays in the 51MB size range.

I thought a virus or spyware might be causing the problem, but nothing of the
sort turned up on thorough checking. And if it had been one of those,
increasing the virtual memory partition size shouldn't have solved anything.

That computer has 1GB of RAM, BTW.

Gerry;
It is 512mb RAM. I will take your advice and add more. Probably another
512mb. My comp is a Dell Dimension 4600. I'm pretty sure it will have plenty
of expansion slots.

How does one tell which programs are loading upon start up?

The 6 largest figures in the Task Manager are:
Peak Mem: VM Size:
141,220 208,544 iexplore.exe
92,844 23,620 svchost.exe
92,612 77,208 waol.exe
89,420 48,316 ccSVCHST.exe
57,248 49,608 aolsoftware.exe
49,236 28,512 explorer.exe

I turn my computer off about every 2-3 days but I always put it into
stand-by at night.

Sorry for the delay in responding but for several days this site would not
give me the pop-up reply window. I have no idea why, but it would just
refresh the page and that was all.
