I Wrote It All At The Bottom Of My Post. 100 - 1534.. Is That What You Mean?

Thanks For The Reply.

Try this, go into your virtual memory settings and set a custom size like this.
Min 1024
Max 1024

This makes a better Vmem file anyway as it does not change size.

But what you have should be enough unless you are running alot of stuff. Have you checked for viruses and spyware?

yes I saw that but just wanted to be sure try changing it to custom as suggested by Barry_R if that doesn't work try changing it to the 2nd drive.That doesn't work try using both drives.

OK. Your max custom size is way too small. Make it at least 5000 MB, because if you play games, burn cd/dvd's, or use autocad, 1536 is not going to last long.

I would also reccomend making the minimum size around 100 MB, I mean you don't want everything in the swap file do you!

Everyone has different opinions on swap files. Personally, I'd go with Barry's suggestion, as a static file is more effective than a dynamic one. And if you've got more than one hard drive, put it on the fastest one.

The default setting of a dynamic swap file on the Windows drive is the slowest option, so experiment with different settings while a few programs are running to see the maximum swap file size being used and then set the min/max to slightly higher.

Bonk, Barry, Killer, Koala,

Thanks so much for the info.. I will tinker with the settings.
I changed it to 1024 - 4095 and it seems to be fine (no more virtual memory low messages)

I do run a lot of programs video stuff and business applications for my business. I also have the latest spyware and norton virus protection. So, I believe I am virus free and spyware free. I couldn't understand why I was suddenly getting the vm low messages. Now I know how to adjust.

Again thank you all..
I 'm sure I'll be back for more information on other things in the future.
