I get a virtual memory low so I check it out and I have DRWTSN32.EXE coming up under processes and it runs over 2500 processes of DRWTSN32.EXE which makes my computer extremely slow. I'm probably wrong but it happened earlier today and my friend told me to type in MSCONFIG in the RUN menu and go to startup and disable all of them because I was running too much, so I did and it worked. But after I had to restart later on in the day, when it came up and I clicked on my Spyware or something it the processes start coming back up and it was slow again. I'm not really sure what triggers it but when it happens I can't really do anything unless I reset it.
It seems that my PC every Sunday morning receives this error arround 4:00 to 4:30 AM. I am not even on my PC at that time, I am sleeping, Is there somehow a way that I can trace what process maybe started arround that time to make my system boost up the virtual memory?
I keep getting the error message that my Windows virtual memory minimum is too low. I have Microsoft Windows 2000 and the following settings: total paging file size 205 MB; minimum 2 MB; Recommended 190 MB; Currently allocated 205 MB; current registry size 21 I'm not the system administrator so I can't change these numbers. I also couldn't find the pagefile.sys that someone suggested looking for. My IT guys don't know what's wrong; they reformatted my computer but I got this error message again. What should I tell them to do?
At any one time I have approx 60 processes running, even after just booting up my computer. Although I am not a computer expert, this seems like too many to me. I was wondering if anyone could help me by telling me if this definitely is too many to run at once, and if there is some way I can post a list of the running processes and have someone with more knowledge help me get rid of some of them.
Win Xp, Dell and cable connection When I do ctrl>alt>del, it shows 17 System processes running. Are all of these necessary? Also, some of the other running processes i recognize, i.e. firewall, IM, anti-virus, but some of them I don't have a clue what they are. Is there a list somewhere of what should/shouldn't be running necessarily?
How many & what processes are necessary to start and run xp. Some maintanence programs that tell me how many running processes are there is around 20 to 30 processes. Which I think is slowing down the boot up of my laptop.
My OS is Windowns XP. Lately while on-line, I have been getting a "virtual memory is low" error message and then my computer either locks up or I am booted off AOL. Can you tell me what might cause this type error? I have noted added any new software in weeks. The last install was my IPOD Nano.
I'm running XP. I did an Ad-Aware scan and removed some tracking cookies. It also stated that I had 29 running processes. How do I find what is running to help speed up my PC, and also; which are essential? I have dial-up AOL. It's running like a horse-drawn computer. How can I get it up to at least steam-powered.
i'm having a lot of lockup probs while playing call of duty multi. xp2400 gigabyte nforce, 512 corsair,maxtor 80 gig 7200 rpm.in task manager processes i'm running almost 120,000k is that normal ? is there a way to post my task manager processes readout?my hijack log is clean, running spyware blaster, avast a/v, roboform, zone alarm. and a temp monitor.case is clean and all 4 fans are working. heatsink is clean.core temp normally runs around 113 f but saw it get up to around 150 once.
Does 66 running processes seem like a lot? I cannot seem to find a thread regarding this. (I'm sure there is, stopped looking after 45 minutes) It doesn't seem to slow my computer at all. I AM running quite a bit on here as far as spyware, virus scans, webshots, etc. It's also a media center 2004 computer with all the trim so there are quite a few windows processes on there. Even with AOL running, my computer is only using 430MB of RAM and I have 1GB.
I was running Outlook, AIM, and IE at the same. After a few moment, I'd get this following message:
Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your Virtual Memory Paging file. During this process, memory requests for some applications may be denied.
When I hit OK, all my applications would close, except my Outlook. I'm running Win2K with 512 memory. My computer is only 1.5 years old. I didn't play any games or download anything so it's not heavily used. But why the message then?
I don't really have a problem on my hands, but I would like to ask a few questions relating to Virtual Memory and Memory Leak.
I downloaded a game back in December, but hasn't been installed as yet. I heard that it is created using "C++" or "C" (whatever it is), and I learned that it has a memory leak. My Virtual Memory was running low (it may already have beforehand) by the time the game was installed. My computer crashed two days later as a result.
But some users haven't experienced any problems with the game. My question is, is it a better idea for me to install the game on a CD-ROM or USB Drive and play it from that media type (instead of from the hard drive) so that I can protect my PC from crashing due to low virtual memory?
virtual memory and memory usage i need to know how to know this 2 perfomances and if we need to otuch something to upgrade memory and best usage for your pc.
Checking in Windows Task Manager/Processes I have three entries for SVCHOST.EXE - all three under User Name are shown as SYSTEM Is this correct and if not, what should I do about them?
I was having trouble open some sites like espn.com I changes Browsers From IE to Fire fox and that seemed to solve that Problem but trying to open some Emails in OE are still having trouble. My computer seems to freeze up the Cpu gets to 100% and a message pops up saying I am low on Virtual Memory.
How effective is it?I remember it used to work wonders for my old mac LCII.If iv'e got the hard space to spare, would it be worth setting aside, say, a couple gigs of virtual memory or should I not bother?
I don't understand virtual memory. I keep getting a message that I'm too low on virtual memory. Is it something that corrects itself? Also, I can't get anything on the disc cleaner. I've followed directions, but it shows up on the taskbar and I can't get it to open. I have Windows XP.
I have been receiving messages that my virtual memory is low. The computer is running slowly and frrezing at times. I ran a scan with a programme called RegCure and it found 996 errors. Of course I have to pay for the programme to remove the errors. Does anyone know if this programme is any good, or is there another one that would do the job - maybe a free one? My operating system is Windows XP.
How do I fix this constant problem? I think that is the root of my problems! I have 512meg of memory! It shouldn't be eating that much memory correct? How do I stop this?
I am having problem of virtual memory on this laptop,when I boot my laptop,it takes a long time to get to the desktop screen and then an error messege appears saying something like "The system is too low on virtual memory and need to increase the size of virtual memory".I do understand something about virtual memory usage I have checked the Peformance tab in Task Manager and the paging file usage is 960MB.Under Physical Memory(K),it says available memory is 35888 or something less then that. The CPU usage goes down and than shoots up to 60% or sometimes even higher. Could it be an over heating issue?Please note that the base of my laptop gets really hot.I have even checked the virtual memory performance in System Properties and the paging file is happening at Drive C:I wanted to know that should I change the setings of virtual memory?Should the remaining partitions like D: and E: be assigned paging file instead of C drive?
Lately i been getting virtual memory getting low and i don't know what to do so if i can get some help on what to do.I am running windows xp on a gateway.
I've been getting this pop-up saying my computer's memory is low, and when I run the Task Manager it looks like I have a lot of memory taken by iexplore.exe and svchost.exe.
