| SP2 won't really affect virtual memory. For starters, what applications load at startup (i.e. whats in the start up folder). Next, take a look at applications such as Norton SystemWorks (which is a resource pig). If that's running in the background, consider shutting it down. Next, download and run both Spybot and Adaware. Spyware can cause the problems you describe. Additionally, clean out the temp file. Also, you didn't mention which applications may be causing the problem. If it's something like Adobe Photoshop, consider increasing your memory to at least 512. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, Nvidia GeForce 5200; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS, Nikon D2H and D100 |

| jimmyhoffa - loved your response...plain as day. Something else just occurred to me. Low virtual memory can also be attributed to not having enough hard disc space to create a swap file (yes, WinXP has a swap file). Check to see how much drive space is left. If you're less than 25%, get a bigger hard drive, or install a second and slave it and use that for the swap file. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, ATi Radeon 8500; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS2, Nikon D2Hs and D100 |

| Could be - but it could also be that damage has already been done to your OS, where a clean install might be needed. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, ATi Radeon 8500; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS2, Nikon D2Hs and D100 |
