Virtual memory is low

I wish people would try to explain themselves in plain old English instead
of delving into terminology they don't understand.

The paging file *is* virtual memory. The size of the paging file changes
continuously - that's what it's supposed to do.

"Partitioning" a hard disk means dividing a physical hard disk into two or
more logical hard disks. For example, you could partition your hard disk
into two logical disks called C and D. The operating system treats them as
if they were two separate hard disks. Windows runs perfectly on a
partitioned hard disk: My primary hard disk has 5 partitions.

I have the same problem...and it is so frustrating. When
they talk about partitioning the hard drive, does that
mean getting another harddrive? I read somewhere that
Windows Xp has difficulty running the operating system
along with everything else.(#@$%&) I have tried changing
the size of my paging file, but doesn't seem to matter
what I do. My computer is also running very slow! I will
keep checking to see if someone will help us!

what would cause the virtual memory to keep changing the
paging size? I have rebooted the computer and looked in
the task manager and the only thing running as far as
applications was Internet Explorer. sometimes the
computer
will even lock up. I thought at first I was running to
many applications at once and did not have enough ram
but
after installing 768mb of ram and this problem has not
gone away I don't think that is the case anymore.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

It is best to let Windows manage page file size.. if Windows still has
problems doing so, this would indicate that there just isn't enough physical
space left on the drive.. you should either remove unnecessary files from
the drive or buy a larger drive..
