Whats it all about ?
You may or may not be aware there are two types of memory Hard Drive Memory (storage) and RAM (Random Access Memory) for the programs that are running. But happen when all the RAM has been used , Windows will try to create virtual memory by grabbing a chunk of hard drive space and treating it like real memory.
Your software can’t tell the difference between real and virtual memory, but you might because virtual memory access is much slower, due to the hard drive activity it requires.
If you encounter the low virtual memory error message, then you have used the maximum amount of real plus virtual memory that is configured on your system. There are two setting one is System Managed which I recommend and the other is a custom setting which is when you see the Low Virtual Memory.
To change the setting follow as follows :-
- Click Start, then open the Control Panel.
- Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Under Performance, click Settings.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Under Virtual memory, click Change.
- Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file (virtual memory) settings that you want to change.
- In almost every case, this will be your C: drive.
- Click to select the “System managed size” option, then click Set.
- Click OK three times and restart your computer.
I would hope this would have sorted the problem.
Note : Every computer is different and have different setting, and the above might cause issue so please be very careful.
