I have this problem for quite some time now

And my computer will show me a blue screen and telling me that my virtual memory are too low and they're dumping some things...

I tried deleting all the cookies

And making my virtual memory at the recommended size..

but none of those seems to work...

I can't even play some games now...

And my computer is always stuck!

I really need help!!!!

buy some more ram

How much do you have right now?

We all wear masks. Everyone, everyday... sometimes we wear them so much, we forget who we really are. And sometimes if we're lucky, someone comes along and shows us who we really want to be, who we should be.

Tumblrrr.

How much free hard drive space do you have for swap files also known as virtual memory?

Clean up your hard drive or get another one installed. Try to max out your memory.

Do antivirus scan, Ad-Aware and Spybot scan.

Buy another computer if it's older than five years.

I hope that helps you.

Also, might want to do ctrl+alt+delete and check out the programs that are active. I had couple that was active and never want it to when starting windows. So, I just deleted the software because I found a better one.

click on me!

Is your virtual memory settings set to auto?
Do you have about 2gb of hard drive space free?

If you do great!

Can you get http://www.memtest86.com/ memtest and do 2 scans of your ram? You will need to put that on a boot floppy or burn it to a CD (hopefully cdrw)

Computers don't blue screen as a result of running out of virtual memory. They give you pop up errors but not virtual memory. Blue screens usually occur with hardware conflicts and errors to cause a major crash or as I am assuming your ram is pretty much fried and when your computer writes to that part of the ram the data doesn't stay and blue screens when it cant find the files in the ram.

Noooooo not hard drive problem >_<
Virtual memory is stored on the hard drive, but I don't think its a virtual memory problem. If you get blue screens, I think you might have RAM problems.

You can set it to auto, or if you just want to change it, set the max from 1536 to something like 2048. You should never need anything more than 2048mb.
