"Virtual Memory is Low" error message

      Virtual memory is a part of the hard drive that is set aside and used like RAM by the operating system. When the physical RAM is all used up, the operating system begins to use the virtual memory. When the virtual memory is nearly all used up, the "Virtual Memory is Low" warning message will pop up.


Cause

·   Too many programs are running and not enough memory to run. ·   One program is using up a lot of memory. ·   A bad or failing memory chip. ·   A bad or failing hard drive.

Solution 

• ·         Close open programs

If you have multiple programs open at the same time and they are using up all the physical RAM and nearly all of the virtual memory, this will cause the warning message to pop up. Fixing this requires you to close one or more of your open programs, to free up virtual memory and physical RAM space.

• ·         Close and then re-open programs

• ·         Reboot the computer

Rebooting the computer  close all background programs and restore any memory that hasn't been recovered. Reboot the computer and see if the virtual memory errors continue.

• ·         Replacement of the bad memory chip

• ·         Repair corrupted sectors on the hard drive (using a hard drive repair utility) or a replacement of the hard drive.
