Why low virtual memory?

0

When you install Windows the system sets up your Virtual Memory to about 1½ times the size of your RAM. It also takes into account the size of your Hard Disc drive and allows approx 10% of it’s free space size. So if you disc is nearly full it will start to have problems. First thing to stop your problem is to not to have too many programs open at once. Although you not actually using them they are running in the background and taking the RAM’s resources which overspills into the virtual memory. Another way to help is if you right click on My Computer ► Properties ► Advanced ► Performance ► Advanced ► Virtual Memory ► and change the button setting to “System Managed Size” ► click on Set ► Apply & OK ► The system will now ask you to reboot for the settings to take effect ► click on OK. This now allows the system to be flexable and can adjust the Virtual Memory as required with out being fixed between two parameters. With a bit of luck that should solve your problem!
