How to Fix Low Virtual Memory

What is Virtual Memory?

If your computer lacks the random access memory (RAM) needed to run a program or operation, Windows uses virtual memory to compensate.

 

 

 

Virtual memory combines your computer’s RAM with temporary space on your hard disk. When RAM runs low, virtual memory moves data from RAM to a space called a paging file. Moving data to and from the paging file frees up RAM to complete its work.

 

 

 

The more RAM your computer has, the faster your programs will generally run. If a lack of RAM is slowing your computer, you might be tempted to increase virtual memory to compensate. However, your computer can read data from RAM much more quickly than from a hard disk, so adding RAM is a better solution.

 

 

How to change Virtual Memory?

 

 

Open System by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking System.

 

In the left pane, click Advanced system settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

 

On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.

 

Click the Advanced tab, and then, under Virtual memory, click Change.

 

Clear the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box.

 

Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.

 

Click Custom size, type a new size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, click Set, and then click OK.

 

 

Increases in size usually don’t require a restart, but if you decrease the size, you’ll need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect. Our Lionsea computer technicians recommend that you don’t disable or delete the paging file.
