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

download , install and run sequoia view

this should provide you with a detailed breakdown of what is eating up your hard disk space

you increase the virtual memmory, wat is ur hard disk size? that will make u know how to increase.
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 grin just checking wink )

@oyb
bet u she didnt read thru the post(i didnt. . .was too long)

@Oyb

Ok, I downloaded it, now what?

All I see are squares undecided undecided
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.

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?
