Cris, click CTRL-ALT-DEL and bring up the WIDNOWS TASK MANAGER. Click on PROCESSES. You'll notice a column there for MEM USAGE. If you click the MEM USAGE title, it'll place everything in order of what's using the most memory (from least to most). Click it again and it'll place everything in reverse order (most to least). Now, you can see what it is that is taking up so much memory. Also... on the very bottom it should show total memory being used and how much is available (COMMIT CHARGE). This will allow you to see if your system is seeing all the memory in the first place. ========================== Sir Troth ICQ #1717439 AIM/AOL: SirTrothX Yahoo: SirTroth MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx ========================== -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cris Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 6:04 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: virtual memory too low I don't think it has anything to do with anything that I downloaded or installed. So I doubt system restore would help me. And It's been happening for a while now - so I probably couldn't go back even if I wanted to!! thanks for the thoughts!!!

Any recent downloads of anything, then installed? Mumble mumble....Would doing a system restore put the whole system BACK to where it didn't keep changing? But then you still don't know WHY..hmmmm. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cris" <cris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 12:09 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- virtual memory too low This is driving me nuts! I am constantly getting the pop up about windows virtual memory being too low. It just popped up again! I have just re-booted my computer also! It shouldn't be popping up! No spyware shows up - no viruses show up that could be dragging the system down. any thoughts?
