>>Your
system is low on virtual memory
Problem:
Hi I
have Dell Latitude D 600 laptop 1.6 GHz Intel M Processor, 512 MB Ram, 40 GB
Hard disk, Running Windows XP pro. I am keep on getting "Your system is low
on virtual memory" error message and it will hang the system. Nothing will
respond. Finally I have to reboot the PC by pressing Power off switch
button. Normally I will open some IE browser and some MS Word documents
files. Can you please guide me how to resolve this issue.
