Virtual Memory To Low Error

[Lanther]

The computer works fine unless you let it set for awhile and it goes into standby mode. When you bring it back up it says the Virtual Memory is to Low and won't run any apps. Its not on the internet and its running Windows XP what could be causing the error?

Agreed, need to know how many megabytes of RAM you got. That error message usually only occurs if 1) You are running less than 128mb of RAM 2) you have alot of RAM, but you also have WAY too many apps/services running in the back ground. I'm willing to bet you just dont have enough RAM, XP uses about 128 to boot up and stay running...so at LEAST 256MB should be in ur system to avoid system hangs/errors/lag. 512mb will keep you out of danger if you can afford it.
