My son has a problem on his computer. I think it started when he downloaded the last big Microsoft update - the one that was being talked about so much recently. It blocks his computer when it occurs. I have to translate the message he receives on the screen from French, so I hope you will still understand. The message (translated) says: "Windows- Minimal virtual memory insufficient. Your system is lacking virtual memory. Windows augments (increases?) the size of your pagination file of the virtual memory. During this operation, requests for memory for certain applications can be refused. For more information, consult Help". But we can't consult help. We can't do anything. The computer kind of get gets bocked and has to be rebooted all the time. This can occur any time. When he's playing games it shoots him off back to the Windows main page and sometimes he needs to reboot to get back on. It also occurs when he's on the internet. When he's on the internet, he can't get back on and needs to reboot most of the time.
I am having a error message when I try to run my Live Update on Norton AntiVirus. The message is the following:"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 my be denied. For more infomation, see help." have seen the help dialoge; however, it isn't doing the trick. What does this whole virtual memory warning mean? Can I do something to prevent this low virtual memory problem?
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?
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.

Any way today I got the next email and again it interests me , as I have an old pc to dispose of.So interesting article save to pc,NO!I got ERROR unable to save to place,I tried it again several times to different places in the pc but no.So of to another web site I've been lately,ebay save a camera detail to pc aha unable to save insufficient memory,??? A check shows I have 17GB free space on one drive and 150GB free on the other drive and currently using about 270MB of 512MB ram so how can I be short of memory?I then did virus/spy/nasties scans,checked my drives for errors and defraged them.Tried it all again saves ebay ok but not cnet,but last week it saved cnet ok.
after a while of using my computer i will get error messages saying that programs/ie cannot be opened because there is insufficient memory. the computer is fine before this and handles many different things at the same time. i have to restart my computer every time this happens. i am currently running XP.
After considering a switch from FAT32 to NTFS, I finally took the plunge. When I boot up windows, I get an error message that says "insufficient memory to convert to NTFS." My machine "freezes" there and I'm in a loop.all I can do is reboot and get to the same place. Is there a way I can get to a command prompt and cancel my directive. At this rate, I'll be happy to get back to old "fatty."
I am trying to re-install a game on my computer. Due to a good virus attack, I was forced to reformat my hardrive and re-install Windows XP Pro. When I tried to re-install my son's game (one of those Sesame Street educational games) I get an error message saying that there is insufficient memory to run the application-- The title of the message box is "Can't run 16-bit application"; there is no error number. I have Googled for it, but the only answers I seem to get are for the autoexe.nt file being corrupt; however, my specific problem is not listed in the symptoms.
"There is insufficient memory or disk space. Close extra windows and save your work." It's the message that I keep getting when I try to paste some pages of a book from Internet onto WORDS 2000 on my Laptop DELL INSPIRON 9300 with OS Windows XPPLEASE HELP ME TO FIND A CURE FOR THIS
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.
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.
What should I have it set for says the maxium is 280 or something like that but I read where it should be set to zero.Does anyone know about virtual memory.
I am having repeated messages with low virtual memory for my desktop. I'll have programs stop working with low memory messages, can't load another program message, things wont print. I reboot, and all is fine for a while. I'll go into the control panel to increase the virtual memory. It was set at 764mb. I changed it to custom 3000 mb min,4096 mb max. rebooted. went back to control panel and virtual memory was still at 764 where it says total paging file for all drives current 764. but higher up in the panel it says c: 3000-4096. How do i get the memory problem solved?
Hi everyone. I have a Dell 4700 running Windows XP Pro w/ 2GB RAM installed. I run a Penitium 4 (3.4 GHZ, I believe), Nvidea 6600 Graphics Card, Creative Live! 24-Bit Internal sound, Printer, Broadband Internet. I also have 2 user accounts set up (which sometimes run simultaneously) and run alot of the normal programs including Panda Internet Security, Microsoft Office and The Sims2 w/ all expansions (HUGE Memory Hog). My Question is- With these specs, what amount of space should I alot to the Virtual Memory to on my C: Drive? Windows recommended amount or should I increase it some (mainly due to the Sims2? I want a quick boot up of course, but also all the least load and stall time possible. I'm kinda new to this so please be specific.
I'm stuck have a friends XP machine that is behaving oddly. When it boots, in normal or safe mode, I receive a dialog box once the user selection screen is displayed with the title "virtual memory minimum too low". Then an explanation that XP is going to re-adjust it. At this point everything is hung. At the time I got the machine, there indeed was only 200M left on the C drive, but even when I expanded the partition and gave it 25G free, I still get the message.To make matters worse, I can't seem to boot any CDs in the drive so I have to work on the drive on my machine.This also means I can't boot an XP disk to do a repair/re-install. Was it really low and now just can't get past the message even with the expanded drive?
My system is a Dell Windows XP (SP-3) All Windows Updates are installed and I have 512 MGS of RAM. On Start Up, there is not a lot of extra programs running in the background, and most of the time, my system runs fast. (I use MS Config.) Today, however in my System Tray, I got a Low Virtual Memory Warning Message. What does this mean? I use IE 8 most of the time and occasionally Firefox 3.5.The other thing that I noticed is that from time to time when I right-click on the desktop, I will get a momentary fade-out before the options come into view on the screen. The same thing will sometimes happen when I right-click on my Avast Anti-Virus ball in my System Tray. I only use the computer for Word Processing, e-mail and basic Web Browsing. The computer was purchased in October 2004. Why would I be getting this warning?
