Low Virtual Memory Warning - Instant or temperory Fix iT

Are you getting a pop up by Windows that you have dangerously low virtual memory? You know, that little pop-up bubble in the lower right hand corner of the desktop screen.
Why are you getting this alert? When you are not have enough Computer Memory i.e. (RAM) in your computer to handle the tasks that you are request it to perform, your computer will use virtual memory. Virtual memory is an percentage of your hard drive that the computer will use to simulate the function that RAM (Random Access Memory) performs.
The proper way to resolve this trouble and eliminate that annoying pop-up window is to raise your computer’s memory. If you just want to temporaly fix it, follow the steps below:

1. Right click on My Computer and choose Properties.
2. Choose the Advanced tab.
3. At Performance section, click on the Settings.
4. In the Performance Settings, choose the Advanced option .
5. The Bottom section is the where you can set your Virtual Memory or Paging File size.
6. You can change the Maximum Size to a larger number than is already there. Many times it will read 512mb as default. This can be changed to 1gb or 2gb i.e. from 1024kb to 2048kb.

This will eliminate the alert and give your computer more room on the hard drive to use as virtual memory. A word of caution, by increasing this space, you are essentially removing some of your free space on your hard drive. Make sure that you have plenty of free space available (more than 15% free is a good).

This is a temporary solution! The only good way to overcome this warning is to increase the amount of RAM in your computer.
