Not enough Virtual memory
I have a problem with my pc's virtual memory. When I try
and use programs eg: MS Word, it just does not open saying there's not enough memory. Another eg: I try editing a small jpg file and it says there is not enough virtual memory to perform this task eg: rotating photo. I went into the virtual memory settings and it was set to Automatic. I tried changing this to the min and max settings and this didn't help either. The hard drive is 20GB with 15GB free space on it. I'm baffled as to why this is occurring. Any help is appreciated. Alfie. |

Not enough Virtual memory
Try this, locate the file normal.dot and rename it Oldnormal.dot.
That may be the only thing wrong with Word. Or you may have a virus in your computer. Start here. Look for you exact error message. http://www.colba.net/~hlebo49/memory.htm -- Henri Leboeuf Web page: http://www.colba.net/~hlebo49/index.htm === "alfie" wrote in message ...

I'm baffled as to why Virtual Memory is how Win98 names the swap file on disk (filename WIN386.SWP). You reach this via / Settings / Control Panel / System / Performance and select the button marked Virtual Memory. If in doubt, select Option 1 = Let Windows handle it. You ought not to have any value set for max file size. -- Don Phillipson 613 822 0734 Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Not enough Virtual memory
If none of those tips work, try running ScanDisk.
It may fix errors on the hard drive.
