Don't worry about it Ziggy. Windows is just telling you that it tried to fix something.

If you get more problems now then post here and we can tell you how to alter the size of your virtual memory manually.

how often is this happening? on what occasion does this occur?

u can increase the virtual ram but i dun see it as a long-term solution bcos u are using the hard disk to fulfill the demand
u might have to get some RAM if it gets too often, or too annoying

this occurs randomly, whenever windows wants to annoy you again.......

and the virtual memory is kinda needed by some apps......... photoshop and such will even ask (read: demand) you to turn on the vm is it is off........

just set it at about 1-1.5x your RAM and you should be fine........

EDITED to take out bullshit

I used to get this problem sporadically too. it doesn't affect anything apart from when windows is resizing your pagefile. Thats why I advised to just roll with the punches :)

Hey ziggy.. are you using AIM when that message appears?

I know a couple of people who&#39;ve recently had "Virtual Memory too low" dialogues popping up.
They ditched AIM and the prob went away.

You know where it says &#39;For more information see Help&#39;? Did you try Help & Support on the Start Menu?

That depends what questions you ask and whether you allow it to access M&#036;&#39;s online system to search for answers. I&#39;ve used it a few times and sure, somtimes it&#39;s no help, but others it&#39;s been useful. I suspect that regarding a system function such as pagefile usage, it&#39;d be fine.

Disable balloon pop-ups in xp to prevent thoose nagging messages.

http://dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_balloontips.htm

Lots of other useful trinkets at Doug&#39;s site too.

[Storm]

to disable the ballontips you could also just use Tweak UI and under "Taskbar and Start Menu" uncheck "enable ballon tips"

trouble is, the ballon itself isnt usually the problem, the problem is that some programs wont work without enough virtual memory (even if you have enough RAM), or windows will just completly shut down some programs without warning (it just disapears as if never existed, and you dont get a chance to save your work)

I&#39;ve not heard of that happening but I could certainly imagine a program locking up because disk space was zero as the user wasn&#39;t warned about low disk space because ballon tips were turned off.

Now that&#39;s just plain dufus. If you need a ballon tip in xp to warn you about something as imperative as low disk space then maybe you should take advantage of XP&#39;s accessiblity and handicapped features as well. :)

Btw, I&#39;v not found a balloon tip that was anywhere near useful. Most of them consist of "take a tour of xp" or "sign up for .net account." Just frivilous unecessary stuff.

Thanks for that. The low disk space warning is particularly useful for those of us downloading at a rate faster than we can transcode and burn. :)

No prob. And your probably right.

But what the hell do I know. I only speak for Power Users. ;)

true, but the trouble is, if you (like me) have multiple disks and you keep getting a warning about some disk being full (that you really dont care about) you just turn it off, and thus miss it when something important happens

kinda the boy who cried wolf story.........
