virtual memory minimum too low in XP Home

[rmarko]

All of a sudden, I started getting a system slow down and
virtual memory warning messages. The last one was -
virtual memory minimum too low ... system low on virtual
memory - windows is increasing the size of the virtual
memory paging file ...

can anyone give me an idea of what's happening?

System in Dell Dimension 4500 w/256 megs of memory.

Your system has an Intel Pentium 4 CPU and the Intel 845E motherboard
chipset.

Open Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs and look for an entry for the
"Intel Application Accelerator" and uninstall it if it is listed.
Then go to www.intel.com and get the latest version of the application
accelerator and install it.

Older versions of the application accelerator have been known to cause
this type of error message.

Good luck
