What is the best amount to set virtual memory at, mine as 1024MB initial 2048MB max Do I choose C: drive or D?

I have 1024MB RAM and each time I click on a certain link, it pulls up windows media player, and as soon as it opens, it tells me my computer is running low on memory. Every one is telling me to set it to max amount. I don't know how much that is. I don't even know which drive to use C: or D: I'm still learning.

If you are not using VISTA it's correct, yes. Keep page file on same hard drive but in another partition. If I am not mistaken I have on an earliear ocassion advised you on that. Any way some malicious program is running on your PC. If I have not advised you for system maintainance than do this way. Exactly the way you are advised. 1. Search for temp files( In search box type *.tmp) click search. Delete all files that appears after search.


2. Than as above type *.log %26amp; do the same.


3. Search Temp folder Delete all it's content.


4. Search Temprory Internet Files %26amp; delete it's content.


5. Run updated Antivirus %26amp; Anti spyware.


6. Run disk cleanup from system tools in accessories.


7. Than defragment your drives twice from system tools Defrag.


8. From run type msconfig %26gt; enter %26gt; click on startup un check all checked field except of antivirus %26amp; anti spyware. Choose %26amp; click services, Check beside hide all MS Services. In remaining list uncheck all except Anti virus %26amp; Anti spyware services click apply click ok you will asked to restart click restart. Dowload


WIN XP Manager or tuneup utilities install %26amp; clean. Try with win xp manager,s 1 click cleaner. You can download it from


www.softarchive.net. It requires dotnet fx so you will have to download it also. First you will have to install dotnet fx. It is free %26amp; you can get it from site of microsoft.

Reply:Woah! 1024 MB of virtual memory is a GREAT deal. If you are still running low on memory, close some applications. You may turn off some background applications by going to start menu %26gt; run. Type msconfig in the box and hit enter.





Go to the startup tab and disable all programs (quicktime, acrobat reader, bittorrent, etc) except your firewall and antivirus.





Hit Apply. Restart your computer and a popup window will show. Check the box which says "Don't show this message again" and press OK.





You are done! I hope that this will solve your problems concerning memory.
Reply:Essentially you should not mess with the Virtual memory setup at all. You should normally let Windows handle it.





Now, you mentioned that everytime you click on a certain link it opens up Windows Media Player and then you get a message saying that your computer is running low on memory. Well, this means that the link you click on, is trying to open as Media file that is protected under DRM. This means that you essentially do not have the right to open it.





DRM or is Digital Rights Management (DRM) is an umbrella term referring to technologies used by publishers or copyright owners to control access to or usage of digital data or hardware, and to restrictions associated with a specific instance of a digital work or device. DRM has come to primarily mean the use of these measures to control copyrightable artistic content.





What you could do is, to try get access to such Files where and when they are available without the DRM issue.





Good Luck
Reply:you should actually buy more memory moduls. 4allmemory.com will automatically test your computer and pick the EXACT memory stick you need. virtual memory is 10x slower than standard memory....but if you had to choose a drive it should be one that your OS/programs arent on...so with C: being your main drive with the OS.....drive D: should be the VM
Reply:Basic rule of thumb: initial virtual memory size should be 1.5 times the actual RAM installed in the system. Max VM should be double the initial size. The VM swap file should be set to use a hard disk that is not going to be filled up quickly. For instance, if you have a small C: drive and a large D: drive, set the swap file to use the D: drive.

Reply:D drive
Reply:How much Physical Memory do you have? Use the D drive and set it to min 1024 and max 2048 or the other way would be to use the option System managed paging size.
