Can I get some details as to the meaning of this message that pops up on my system tray please..?

I've deleted everything possible that can take up space, I shut my computer down at night...Am I on the right path?

Re: Virtual Memory

Copied this from another BB.

Windows XP:

Click Start / Control Panel / Performance and Maintenance / System / Advanced tab
Under Performance click the Settings button.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under Virtual Memory, click the Change button.
Under Paging file size for selected drive,put a tick next to Custom size:.

The minimum should be 1.5 times your memory size. The maximum should be three times your memory. If you continue to have problems, raise the maximum. Keep raising it until you no longer get the message.
Then click the Set button.

Or, the best solution, you could increase the amount of RAM your system has, by buying more, since the hard drive is much slower than RAM.
That's how I solved my, low virtual memory, problem.

If using Windows 2000

1. Right click on your My Computer Icon
2. Click properties
3. Click on the Advanced Tab
4. Click Performance options
5. A new Window should pop up, under Virtual Memory click Change

Re: Virtual Memory

Don't put in a fixed value. Instead, let windows automatically manage the virtual memory size.

Yes, a little extra RAM will also improve stability, as well as, speed.
