Set it manually to 4000 MB or so. Make both the minimum and maximum the same. This allows the OS to set a fixed space for the VM, so it is not spread all over the drive. Best to clean up the hard drive and then use a third part defragger, such as Smart Defrag to optimize the drive. Then set the VM to zero for max and min, apply, then set both to 4000 and apply. This will fix the VM to a 4GB contiguous space for fastest access.
No matter what I set it to, it still gives me the "virtual memory" error message. It seems to do this when I have more than 2 or three tabs open on Google Chrome, and MS Word working at the same time. Nothing else is ever open. Could something be bleeding my memory? If so, how do I uncover/fix? This is crashing my computer several times a day!

Thank you! But it didn't work.
