hi there, i recently upgraded my hardwares-my memory from 256 to 768 and
video card from 128 to 256 geforce6200 series. I just noticed that a balloon
keeps on popping "vitual memory too low" and sometimes my pc hangs up. What
will I do? Or maybe a power failure have caused this because I'm in the
middle of my gaming when a power failure happened and when i opened my pc it
hangs up and windows keeps on asking me if i will run it on safemode or in
normal mode...i always choose the normal mode. PLEASE HELP. THANKS
 
Windows is telling you that you don't have enough virtual
memory [pagefile] space allocated on the hard drive to fully
page the RAM you now have installed. Right click My
Computer and select Performance. Then select
Advanced/Performance and set the virtual memory to a larger
number or to Windows managed. After you set this you have
to click SET before you click OK.

hi jim thanks for the help, i thought windows is automatically choosing the
right virtualy memory that will best fit the pc. I didn't know i can actually
adjust it myself....

When you increase RAM in a machine, the system set pagefile allocation will
also increase.. you are being told that there is no longer enough free space
on the hard drive.. install a second hard drive and move saved documents,,
music, pics etc to it in order to free up space on your primary drive..
