Hi everyone. I have a question having to do with virtual memory of win XP. I need sth like 1GB of RAM for a program I write (I have 256MB of physical memory). The problem is that after 600MBs are allocated, the program crashes because no virtual memory is available. This is happening even when I increase the ammount of virual memory from the control panel. Any ideas?
Thanx.
disk full? buy more ram? (its cheap!!!)
No disk is not full, I have 2 GBytes of free space in C and 6Gb in D. I've set virtual memory used by windows in C up to 1Gb, though, as I told you windows doesnot use more than 600MBytes.Quote:

which program is this? adobe photoshop? does it not have its own virtual memory thing?
I have this problem too and it can't be anything to do with not having enough RAM?
My system spec:
MS XP PRO SP2
Althon XP 1700 1.4MHz
MSI Motherboard - KT3
160GB Hard Drive (80GB free)
1.8GB DDR 333MHz RAM
Geforce4 8x AGP
Dual Layer DVD Burner 8x
All drivers up to date.
Games crash back to the desktop on opening and IE crashes (Lucky I use Mozzila 1.6)
I know others who have this problem too, some with XP Home edition with Service Pack 2
2 things come to mind, either a severely fragmented hard disk, or windows has just finally had enough. Often times after several driver/hardware changes, windows slows down and can even become unstable. The best option is to run a repair install, I just did this recently and it worked wonders.
