Default Re: Virtual Memory too Low?

Virtual memory too low? Update your antivirus or install AVG, get spybot and adaware. If you don't have enough room to install them, we've found the problem. Your hard drive is full so the virtual memory can't grow large enough.

If it only happens after the computer has been running awhile, something you're running has a "memory leak". It means the program is written incorrectly and is actually leaking memory, eating up all your RAM (51MB) and your virtual memory.

This can be caused by a malware program (virus or spyware) or by a poorly written utility. Search for all of your process names on google, see what they are. Don't post your process list on the internet (here) because if you are running a trojan, anyone with the control panel can pwn you (again?).

If all that doesn't turn anything up, disable a program you run all the time and reboot; see if it still happens. Musicmatch is a program you're running that most of us probably aren't. If it's not that, take a look at any shareware programs you installed that run in the background.
