Low Virtual Memory, What To Do? by Nobody: 1:01am On Apr 18, 2009 |
What can I do if the computer keeps showing low virtual memory and keeps slowing down? Do I delete some files, applications etc? |
Re: Low Virtual Memory, What To Do? by oybv101: 7:01am On Apr 18, 2009 |
first off, post your specs also, check the info on this thread - https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-260529.0.html download , install and run sequoia view http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=sequoiaview&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 this should provide you with a detailed breakdown of what is eating up your hard disk space |

Re: Low Virtual Memory, What To Do? by netotse(m): 3:56am On Apr 19, 2009 |
wot are the specs of the computer?(its always better for u to paste the specs of ur pc when u hv probs) if u can delete some apps feel free(it'll certainly help) the simplest way to solve ur problem is: click start>help and support then type in virtual memory>click on the topic that has low memory and read whats written there (i take it u know how to read just checking ) @oyb bet u she didnt read thru the post(i didnt. . .was too long) a also tried the sequioa its wrong!(i use 'treesize free' thats more user friendly i think!) its http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/download.shtml |

Re: Low Virtual Memory, What To Do? by oybv101: 8:34am On Apr 20, 2009 |
as to specs just right click on your pc and select properties, take a screenshot of what you see and post it here it should typically show your cpu and ram

MrCrackles:No be your email I dey send the Indecency movies too? Come here to dey accuce me @Oyb Ok, I downloaded it, now what? All I see are squares |
Re: Low Virtual Memory, What To Do? by oybv101: 6:20am On Apr 21, 2009 |
navigate to drive c the black squares show space taken up by your applications, etc. so look for the big ones. you can use the software to navigate to them you must not delete any .sys file. the reason for recommending it is that freeing up hard disk space may help in retrospect neototse was right though, sequoia view is not that user friendly. try windirstat. its more user friendly than sequoia view. (abeg no vex for merry go round) the idea is just so you can find exactly what is taking up your hard disk space. |

oyb v1.01: Ok, so am not supposed to delete any of the files, then how does this help the problem? Am I supposed to see what files needs be deleted? After that nko? |
Re: Low Virtual Memory, What To Do? by Nobody: 8:25am On Apr 23, 2009 |
once, i had a failed software install that generated an 8gb file. i couldn't find the file, so i used sequoia to locate it, then i deleted it. the idea is that the tool will show you large folders on your system. these may be generated by software, or they may be dvd rips or something else. there was a time when kaspersky was generating very big logs on my system. the tool is simply so you can try to find what is taking up hard disk space. ok , no vex - lets start again - what OS are you using? whats your hard disk size? whats the total amount of free space on your hard disk? |
Re: Low Virtual Memory, What To Do? by dani1luv: 11:43am On Apr 23, 2009 |
Toyinrayo(Poster) What you do is very easy . . Go through these steps. . . > Go to My Computer > Right-click Your Local Disk (C > Click Properties > Then Click Disk Clean-up > After a little while tick/check Downloaded Program Files Temporary Internet Files Old Chkdsk Files Recycle Bin Temporary Files Web-Client / Publisher Temporary Files > Then you click OK. . After that some process/processes occur |
Re: Low Virtual Memory, What To Do? by Nobody: 9:37pm On Apr 23, 2009 |
oyb:I no vex, oga. But you seems to have forgotten who you're talking to, am not an engineer na. Hard disk size? space? How do I find them? @Dani1luv Thanks, how will this affect my 'purra? |
