    Hi
    I've gotten a warning come up (down by my clock) that says my virtual memory is low and it is redirecting memory from other apps? or someting like that?

    Event viewer, systems has a warning with the tcpip if that helps?

    Is there something I need to delete? I ran CCleaner and emptied my prefetch folder.

    I was going through blogs on MSN when this has happened.

    Wouldn't hurt to try.

    Or you can try setting the both the min & max to 1000.

    Just in case you haven't looked down (at the bottom of this page) and noticed the list of hits you have that lead to past "similar threads" this one may help also:

    It's kind of "catchers catch" when these lists get pulled from the archives but you seem to have a pretty good selection that are applicable.
