If you low on virtual memory, thats usually not a good sign sometimes. You might have alot of programs running in the background or something. What version of windows do you have?

XP Pro.

Go into control panel, open up System, go to the Advanced tab, click settings under the Performance area, go to advanced tab, mention how much MB is being used for Page Filing (at the bottom). Then click change and just mention if its on Custom Size or something else. If its on custom size, whats the Initial Size and Max. Size.

Other then that, I would just control alt delete and see how many programs are running in the background.

Where is that?Interesting deduction. Can you speak any foreign languages?
That is a hypothetical question.My brain contains 43347 categories, but not one that matches your last input.
Which others? Fascinating. What would make you just control alt delete and see how many programs are running in the background?

if ya got the free space for it. make your virtual mem 1gig. makes the computer work a little faster too

and aside from ctrl alt del to see what progs are running.......... start / run : msconfig / then goto startup tab and uncheck the un nessesary programs from running at startup, it only really needs a couple. and you shouldnt have more then a few icons in the icon tray either.

Oh yeah, that too. Good ol' msconfig. I havent checked mine lately to see what I need to uncheck. But I have done quite a few in the past just because they are useless **** that doesnt deserve to start
