Sounds like your machine is very tiny and needs a format. You will need a plain windows disk. Not the one that comes with your machine. that way it will run better for you. Then don't put things that use memory so you won't run into that problem. The computer I had never had a format in the days I owned it. My previous computer was starting to say it was running low on memory. Is your computer running slow for you? Let my life song sing for you!

I got a message that I was low on virtual memory and Windows was increasing the size of the virtual memory. And while this was being done, I was also told that requests for some tasks might take a while to process. So, what's this all about?
