Your settings sound fine, but a new computer comes with a lot of add-on
widgets and other software that you weren't running on your old computer.
Some of that software may be buggy leading to this error.

Within seconds after the error message is seen, start/run taskmgr.exe, click
on Performance tab, look at Physical Memory and Commit Charge information.
According to what you said below, your Commit Charge Limit should be 3072000
(or thereabouts).  If you see a number greater than 2048000 for Commit
Charge Total, switch to the Processes tab.  At the top of the table click on
Mem Usage to sort the list by large memory consumers.  Scroll to the bottom
to see the major memory consumers.

Report all of the numbers from the Physical Memory and Commit Charge and
what you found under Processes for further advice.

Subject: Virtual Memory error

Hi, folks --

I keep getting "virtual memory is too low" errors on my four-month-old Dell 
Latitude D610 running Win XP. I'm running the same stuff as I did on my old 
computer, where I never had any problems, even though I had less memory 
(512, I think) than on this one (1 GB).  I've set it as you all advised a 
couple of months ago -- Recommended setting is 1534 MB, and it's set so 
that the initial and maximum sizes are 2048MB. But the errors are becoming 
more frequent. Any idea what's going on?

Thanks --

-- Eve
