Guest eXistenZ Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 OS: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Version: 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Build 2195 RAM: 982.512KB My system seems to be slowing down. I have 3 hard drives and 2 USB extenal drives running. Just recently I have been getting a popup window noting: "Your system is running low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. During this process, memory requests for some applications may be denied." In Performance Options/Applications... My paging file is on C: Initial size (MB): 1440 Maximum size (MB): 2880 Should I change this? If so... to what? Any help or advice appreciated. eXistenZ
Guest DL Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Re: Running low on virtual memory That ram figure doesn't appear correct. You should allow win to handle pageing file size, usually its 2.5 X Ram Your pwr supply is upto the demand? How much free space on C & what is the size of C?

Guest eXistenZ Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Re: Running low on virtual memory Thanks DL The ram figure is what Windows shows Size of C is 10GB with 6.27 free space. I restored a ghost image of C drive saved 4 days ago and things seem to be ok now. Perhaps I messed something up?

Guest DL Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Re: Running low on virtual memory You seem to have a particularly lean installation of win If your ram is 982mb & win handles the swap file this would be 2455mb The figures given dont add up But anyway the restore appears to have worked "eXistenZ" <eXistenZ@bioport.net> wrote in message news:urwW3qGZIHA.484@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Thanks DL > The ram figure is what Windows shows > Size of C is 10GB with 6.27 free space. > > I restored a ghost image of C drive saved > 4 days ago and things seem to be ok now. > Perhaps I messed something up? > > > > "DL" <address@invalid> wrote in message > news:ei8An7CZIHA.984@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >> That ram figure doesn't appear correct. >> You should allow win to handle pageing file size, usually its 2.5 X Ram >> >> Your pwr supply is upto the demand? >> How much free space on C & what is the size of C? >> >> >> "eXistenZ" <eXistenZ@bioport.net> wrote in message >> news:eyyEYa$YIHA.4332@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> > OS: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional >> > Version: 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Build 2195 >> > RAM: 982.512KB >> > >> > My system seems to be slowing down. >> > I have 3 hard drives and 2 USB extenal drives running. >> > >> > Just recently I have been getting >> > a popup window noting: >> > "Your system is running low on virtual memory. >> > Windows is increasing the size of your virtual >> > memory paging file. >> > During this process, memory requests for some >> > applications may be denied." >> > >> > In Performance Options/Applications... >> > >> > My paging file is on C: >> > Initial size (MB): 1440 >> > Maximum size (MB): 2880 >> > >> > Should I change this? >> > If so... to what? >> > >> > Any help or advice appreciated. >> > eXistenZ >> > >> > >> >> > >
