" Windows Virtual Memory Minimum too low . Your system is low on virtual memory . Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file .During this process , memory request for some application may be denied "
Can someone tell me what is the problem ?
How to solve ?
Keep on hanging leh .... *sianzz* , must reset all the time . -
It means your pagefile too low. Set it higher. i assume u play games that require high texture gfx

The reference at "http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php" is useful for further information.
But, I have extracted the main gist.
Click on "Start Menu"
Click on "Control Panel"
Click on "System" (switch to Classic View if it does not appear)
Click on "Advance" tab
Under "Performance", click on "Settings" button
Click on "Advance" tab
Click on "Change" button
You will come to a window titled "Virtual Memory"
Under the "Total Paging File Size for All Drives", check the "Recommended" value. Mine is 334 MB.
Click on "Custom Size" radio button, and specify the rounded maximum and minimum hundredth value. For me, it is 400 MB and 300 MB respectively. (300 MB > 334 MB > 400 MB)
Click on “Set” button
Click on "OK" button
Exit all the windows
Reboot your computer
Try using your computer for a while.
If symptoms perist, increase the maximum and minimum values of the paging file size.

ur ram low lor brudder
close the programs that consume alot ram 1
task manager -> processes
the cpu number the most eats the most ram -
Unless you are very familiar with the processes, it is not recommended. Because you might accidentally terminate a process that Windows is using. This will result in system instability, and shut down your computer prematurely.Originally posted by gigabyte14:ur ram low lor brudder

Problems with Virtual Memory
It may sometimes happen that the system give ‘out of memory’ messages on trying to load a program, or give a message about Virtual memory space being low. Possible causes of this are:
The setting for Maximum Size of the page file is too low, or there is not enough disk space free to expand it to that size.
The page file has become corrupt, possibly at a bad shutdown. In the Virtual Memory settings, set to “No page file,” then exit System Properties, shut down the machine, and reboot. Delete PAGEFILE.SYS (on each drive, if more than just C
, set the page file up again and reboot to bring it into use.
The page file has been put on a different drive without leaving a minimal amount on C:.
There is trouble with third party software. In particular, if the message happens at shutdown, suspect a problem with Symantec’s Norton Live update, for which there is a fix posted here. It is also reported that spurious messages can arise if NAV 2004 is installed. If the problem happens at boot and the machine has an Intel chipset, the message may be caused by an early version (before version 2.1) of Intel’s “Application Accelerator.” Uninstall this and then get an up-to-date version from Intel’s site.
Another problem involving Norton Antivirus was recently discovered by MS-MVP Ron Martell. However, it only applies to computers where the pagefile has been manually resized to larger than the default setting of 1.5 times RAM — a practice we discourage. On such machines, NAV 2004 and Norton Antivirus Corporate 9.0 can cause your computer to revert to the default settings on the next reboot, rather than retain your manually configured settings. (Though this is probably an improvement on memory management, it can be maddening if you don’t know why it is happening.) Symantec has published separate repair instructions for computers with NAV 2004 and NAV Corporate 9.0 installed. [Added by JAE 2/21/06.]
Possibly there is trouble with the drivers for IDE hard disks; in Device Manager, remove the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers (main controller) and reboot for Plug and Play to start over.
With an NTFS file system, the permissions for the page file’s drive’s root directory must give “Full Control” to SYSTEM. If not, there is likely to be a message at boot that the system is “unable to create a page file.” -

Windows by default don't set page files on other drives.
And I won't suggesting deleting it either. Especially if you have low physical memory. -

It means stop running all your programs at once and take it slow.

One quick solution : Can i just change my SD Ram card to a more powerful one , like currently my SD Ram is just 128MB , think it's 128 , not even 256MB , if i upgrade , can i solve this problem ????

do you still have free space in your drive? so that can increase your virtual mem.

how come ur recommended is so low?Originally posted by Conner MacDermott:The reference at "http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php" is useful for further information.

mine was 1521 -
plenty of free space ...almost 75% not used leh ....Originally posted by the_unknown:do you still have free space in your drive? so that can increase your virtual mem. -
how did u get so high ? All because of 1 Gig SD Ram ??Originally posted by pierre^^:how come ur recommended is so low?
mine was 1521 -
I don't use a lot of applications mah..Originally posted by pierre^^:how come ur recommended is so low?

in that case, you may wanna increase your virtual memory.Originally posted by Poolman:plenty of free space ...almost 75% not used leh ....
system info -> advanced -> (performance) settings -> advanced -> (virtual memory) change
then just change the initial and max to higher values than recommended
else, you may want to buy and add new ram -
does this speed up your comp? what is different when you have plentyful of virtual memory to spare?Originally posted by Conner MacDermott:The reference at "http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php" is useful for further information.
