    At the risk of being asked to hit the road again, I hope I have chosen the proper forum. What does a warning that my virtual memory is too low mean. Thank You in advance

    Basically, Windows reserves some space on the HDD for virtual memory where it can dump stuff. Now if the virtual memory is nearly full you get that warning message.

    A lot of older games and programs can give you that warning.

    Usually a patch or the manufacturers site provides the solution.


    More info like what your swap/page file is now, your system specs, and what you're using the PC for when it happens would help.
