    Hello

    Firstley I keep getting a mesage saying my virtual memory is too low and it says the comp will increase it etc , this keeps happening evey week.

    secondly when I go into outlook sometimes it says page cannot appear as there may not be enough disc space or memory?

    Lastley pages keep sticking and pages are taking forever to dowload.

    Hope someone can help?
    Thanks
    Diane:rolleyes:

    How much RAM do you have? Right click MY Computer and check there.

    Your low RAM availability could be caused by unnecessary programs running in the background. If there aren't many, then maybe you're just asking too much from your RAM in windows and may need an upgrade,

    Like Addis said, check to see if there are any background programs you could close, such as real player, etc. If you're running XP, your minimum RAM should be 256. I'm guessing it's around 128. You might want to upgrade and throw another stick in there, you'll notice a major performance increase.

    Make sure that ur virtual Memory is setted to "System Managed Size"

    Right click on my computer ->properties

    Under Advanced tag you can see Performance click Settings

    Under Advanced Tag Again, you will see a Virtual Memory Box..
    Click on Change....Click on System Managed Size and press Set.....
    then OK.....Apply....Apply...Restart Ur Computer......

    Tell me if System is not Managing the memory properly then I will tell you to set the numbers for it.
