Understanding Computers - error message


Expert: Nathaniel Seward - 2/25/2008

Question
i recieved a message sayiny that the virtual memory was low. i went to a web site for help but got totally confused. can you help

Answer
Basically virtual memory means that a program or programs is taking up alot or all of your actual installed memory...ram. It switches to the swap drive on the HDD for extra memory. To stop the message from coming up either close the program that is taking up the memory or add some more memory....you can also adjust the virtual memory but I dont reccommend you doing that.
