Low Virtual Memory

  • The virtual memory is the space your computer uses when it runs short of RAM memory. The paging file is the place where Windows handles your virtual memory settings. If your computer wants to change it, you should go ahead.
you can adjust the paging file size by going to my computer properties> advance tab> Performance settings > advance tab.
  • Adding more RAM may also be of benefit as this will reduce the need for virtual memory to be used in the first place. Adding more RAM is the most cost effective means of boosting a computer's performance.
I recommend buying quality RAM from a reputable company. Some cheap (unbranded) RAM can on occasion be defective resulting in 'unexplained' crashes or freezes. Brands to look for are Mushkin, Crucial and Kingston. To determine the price and availability for a particular computer
  • you can also remove programs that are running in the start up. By typing in the run msconfig, then click startup. Uncheck application that you dont want to be automatically start.  example of application that automatically start's are adobe, yahoo messenger, skype, autodesk, quictime, utorrents and etc.
