    Hi all,
    My son has an old Compaq EVO 620 and it only has 512 mb ram. He downloaded a game and wants to play it, but he gets an error telling him: not enough virtual memory.
    Is there a way to increase the virtual memory?

    Running windows XP pro.
    Thanks

    Maybe you'd want to share your solution with others who might run into the same situation?

    OK
    get to the help section and type " virtual memory " and it will tell you what to do.

    as simple as that

    I just had a customer have this problem with IE. I have not been able to visit him yet but I was told I should take the slider and set it to 4 Gigs. He has a total of 2 Gigabytes physically.

    Would setting it to 4 help or should Windows manage it automatically. He is on XP SP-3

    Hi flynempire. Just let Windows automatically manage the amount of virtual memory. There is no need to adjust it manually.
