What does it mean when my cpu tells me im out of virule memory,and how do i fix it with out spending money............but i will if it the only way lol thx for the help.
Hi,
It can mean that your system is really out of memory.
It can also mean that you donot have enough space on your hard drive.
It can also mean that your computer may have a virus on it, which is causing the problem,
So first of all try these steps & report back on results pls:
-Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then
double-click System.
Click the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, click
Change, set the "Initial Size" and the "Maximum Size" values for the paging file to 0 (zero), and then restart your computer.
Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
Click the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, click Change, reset the "Initial Size" and the "Maximum Size" values to the recommended values for Windows XP, and then restart your computer.
Either you do not have enough RAM,or your Page File is not big enough.
1. Win XP needs a bare minimum of 256MB just to get along. For best results you should have at least 512MB RAM. This could cause the problem.
2. Another cause--the size of the Page File . Start/Right Click My Computer/Properties/Advanced/Performance/Settings/Advanced/Virtual Memory/Change. Set both the Initial and Maximum values for Paging File to 1.5 x RAM Click SET and reboot.
If you have not got enough RAM you will get that message again especially if you are doing a few things at once.
hello I had the same problem last nite when I was on a web site looking into cable internet, anyway I have windows xp I just upgraded my ram to 512MB's SDRam I have a P4 pentium @1.8GHz on the site I was looking at a PDF? file and I had another one opened in the blue taskbar menu I also have 27 GB's of HD space oh and my pagefile is at 384MB's and one more thing if this helps I also have nero 6.0 ultra Edition wich has something called "Nero Image Drive" which was inabled do u think that this Image drive was the cuase?
