Hey guys,

I thought since none of my family knew i would come to the next best thing! :D

Quite simply my internet window and my msn window both close down, now ive had various messages come up, most of which were about my virtual memory being too small.

Now ive never had this problem before and so i would think at a guess that ive ran out of virtual memory, is there anyway to restore some?

Thanks for your help!

Doesn't it reallocate after coming up with that message?

I think if you ctrl+alt+del and kill some useless processes you can free up enough.
 
Well the thing is that I exit out of everything then I try to re-enter and the window just flashes then dissapears.

For now im doing system restores every 2 days, it seems to do the job for a short while, but I wouldn't mind a long term alternative if there is one.

Thansk for helping anyways, greatly appreciated.

Hmm, ok.

I'm not at all leet, so someone else should be able to help.
 
Go to Start --> Run, type msconfig, look under the Startup tab and uncheck any programs that are checked, which you are sure about that you don't need them.

Great!! Thank you very much I had a hell of a lotta programs running.

:)
 
Right click on my computer, click Advanced, click performance options, click on the change button in the virtual memory section, and increase the virtual memory.
 
Right click on the Task Bar, choose "Task Manager", click "Processes" tab, check "Show Processes from all users", then click the "Memory Usage" column to sort in order of memory usage. Close applications that are using lots of memory.

Click the Performance tab. Under the graphs, look for "Physical memory" Total. Them look at the "Commit Charge" total. If Commit Charge is greater than Physical memory, buy more RAM
 
Great thank you my problem is solved!!

My dad says thanks too since it had him beaten lol 👍
 
I'm so tempted to ask if that's why you bought broadband from Tiscali, but i won't.


Because i did the same.
