Low Virtual Memory - Comments Page 4

Yeah i tried changing the settings and still to no avail. At a complete loss here..

Well i believe my problem was with the IE 7 installation. I removed the upgrade and i no longer have the VM problem, but i do get the " IE is not responding " but closeing the window and opening it back up seems to work. I have to do it a few times maybe but then it works without a problem. So i guess i either had a bad install of the upgrade or one of the IE 7 patches didnt like something. So for the time being i will leave IE 7 off my system. Hope this helps others that ran across the same problem as me.

Hello! my laptop is about 4-5 years old and recently has been running out of space because i have so much music on it. It began running really slow so i deleted all my music and placed it on a hardrive. One day, all of a sudden, the icons on my desktop totally stopped appearing. I could still access everything through my "start" options but still found it weird. It said my computer had low virtual memory space, so i used this site to try to fix that. I followed the instructions but my icons still dont appear!!! i suck at computers, can someone please help me???

EDITOR'S NOTE: I would recommend System Restore, to return your system to the point where the icons DID appear. The alternative is to recreate the icons manually. See http://askbobrankin.com/system_restore.html

Thanks so much for all of the recomendations of fixes for this error. I went through and tried them all this morning, including loading the Regseeker. Made a huge difference! Never realized how much excess junk was out there hogging up needed space. Your article was very helpful! Thanks so much!!!

hello i am getting this message every time: windows virtual memory is low.

EDITOR'S NOTE: So you read the article, tried my suggestions, and now it works great. Right?

Bob how can i fix this problem of low memory
on my computer with buying something for it?

EDITOR'S NOTE: You did read the article, right? So you tried my suggestions, and what happened?

Mine...replace mouse then..everthing fine.
(get solution info from cybercafe technichian)

EDITOR'S NOTE: I suppose it's possible that your mouse driver was causing a memory leak. But I would never have suspected that!

I followed the instructions on incsreasing virtual memory. How do you change the number or know how high the number can go? Does selescting change automatically increase the number?

EDITOR'S NOTE: This article should help: http://askbobrankin.com/virtual_memory.html

How about instructions for a computer running Windows 2000 professional? I mean instructions about finding out how much RAM there is, how to do the cleaning, etc....
Would this be possible, please!!!
...and thank you.

Thanx...it worked...thanx again
