low on virtual memory

[anatta]

I used to get this on my laptop. I actually think it had something to do with Empire poker. I had this problem downloading the updates from empire. I tried various things (ie deleting Empire and redownloading it) but my computer wouldn't do it. No problem with other sites downloading their updates. I could still play at Empire, but everytime log on, it would say "need to update" it would try but no dice. That same day, I got that message, low on virtual memory when I was playing on Empire. My system would slow down. But I didn't think the two were related. I tried all the things these guys are saying, reboot, virus scans, closed programs, defrag, I increased the virtual memory settings, all that crap. After a while, I just stopped playing Empire. The problem went away, I went back to empire after a few months, downloaded their stuff no problem, and no more virtual memory probs. I dunno. Maybe unrelated, and the disk clean up did it or something, I am not sure...
