By this time I realised I was out of my depth and abandoned my effort Forget about the utility, it's very difficult to use and you need advanced Windows skills to decipher the messages that it will give you. Instead just try the other suggested fix, as explained on the web page try this: 1- Click Start, Run and type the following command: rundll32 wbemupgd, UpgradeRepository 2- Re-register the WMI components, run the following commands at the command prompt: * cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem * for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i * for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer (To avoid errors you can just copy and paste to the Run box or command prompt.) If this doesn't fix WMI then try the Comprehensive rebuild method as explained at the end of the web page. Pay attention the the Important note about the service pack level, if your Windows installation is at SP3 you need to use a Windows XP CD slipstreamed to SP3 or you need to point to the Service Pack 3 folder when prompted. Good luck, if this doesn't work you are probably looking at a Windows repair install (in-place upgrade) to repair WMI. John |

Virtual memory minimum too low

bm typed: I had a suspicion that more RAM was required My PC is a Dell Desktop 1100 and has 512MB RAM Would it be worth increasing it to 1GB and is it practical? Blair It's definitely practical and definitely worth it. The optimal RAM would be 2 Gig; larger than that and your'e running into the point of diminishing returns. Most users with 3 Gig RAM would likely not see the pagefile being used at all except for the requisite space for data dumps. Crucial.com is one of the best places to dig into things like this, IMO. They'll even look at what RAM you currently have and suggest what you should be able to use. HTH, Twayne` "Gerry" wrote in message ... Blair Add more RAM. What is your computer make and model? Changing to a system managed pagefile may eliminate the virtual memory messages but will not help performance as you have insufficient RAM. -- Hope this helps.
