How do i increase the virtual memory ? why am i getting this problem as i have plenty of hard disk s

I have windows xp, 256 mb ram and 80 gb hard disk...55 gb is still left on my pc.but a window says my computer is running low on virtual memory...i don't think its a virus because i have got AVG-free edition and anti-spyware 7.5 full version plus tune up utilities 2006 and i scan often and update. My need for speed underground 2 (that worked just a few days ago) is not working...the game loads but then it just stays on loading.........is this because of low virtual memory if so...please help.

Lots of down thumbs on good answers. why?



Before I repeat what others have said, try uninstalling your game, and reinstalling it. If that doesn't work, repeat that, but install it to your D drive, if available.



256 RAM is barely sufficient to run XP. You can use word processing, light tasks, but anything that needs extra RAM is going to hang the system. I'm guessing your video and sound cards are stock, original also?



Just because the game worked a few days ago, doesn't mean it was happy. Maybe you are running an additional program in the background. Check that, close anything that is not needed. But the problem is you are forcing the PC to play the game off of the hard drive...it is possible your hard drive is showing signs of wear as well. Maybe I will get a down thumb also, but here is my recommendation:
