Virtual Memory?

[Boomyal]

I have a Pentium II 450 mhz, running Windows 2000. (not primary computer) When I woke it up this morning, the following message was on the desktop.<br /><br />"Windows- Out of virtual memory<br />your system is low on virtual memory. to ensure that windows runs properly, increase the size of your virtual memory paging file. for more information, see help."<br /><br />The programs seem to work ok, but when I right click on My Computer or the Desktop, I get the following message.<br /><br />"rundll32.exe-Application Error<br />The application failed to initialize properly (Oxc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application."<br /><br />The hard drive is quite full.<br /><br />Any ideas what is going on? and what I should do. Could this have anything to do with a full hard drive?

Re: Virtual Memory?

Yes, a full hard drive can be the problem. Move some files to another drive, to cd-rom, flash dirve, etc. empty the recycle bin, you know just clean it up!

Even though were almost 20 years since the original "640 k should be enough for anyone" ... it's still there causing problems....<br /><br />clean up, reboot, that's about all you can do.

Re: Virtual Memory?

Thanks all, I have a good harddrive out of another computer with either a cpu or motherboard heat related, intermittent shutdown problem. I'll install it in this computer then move a bunch of stuff off of the primary harddrive. It wasn't very big, anyway.
