Do this:
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
3. On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
4. On the Advanced tab, under Virtual memory, click Change.
5. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file
that you want to change.
6. Under Paging file size for selected drive, click to select the System
managed size check box, and then click Set.
7. Click OK three times.
When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
Large physical memory isn't the issue here because 1GB of RAM is very suficient
to run any size apps which are very comfortable in 256MB minimum especialy 3d
cad/cam apps like Autocad, or games such as Halflife 2, quake, doom which are
very 3d graphics intensive which the video card handles the logic algoritms for
pixel mapping, smoothing, weaving, streching and blithering if the vid card has
128MB and up.
Windows XP uses 1 - 2GB of virtual address space (not physical memory) to
manage paging and staging areas
for 1GB virtual for system space(FFFFFFFF-C800000) within that area system
cache, paged and nonpaged memory pools, (C0800000 - C0000000) Process page
tables Hyperspace, (C0000000-80000000) Kernel and the HAL and on each page in
range 7FFFFFFF - 00000000 app code, global variables, pre-thread stacks and DLL
code.
If the problems persist try increasing the page file size to double physical
memory space if you had for instance
512MB try a paging file size of 1024MB 1GB of HD space won't hurt the drive
since large sized GB HD are very cheap these days.

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
