Hi, I'm new to this so be patient if I haven't included all the information needed. I have a
System Model: Dell Latitude C510 System type: X86-based PC Processor: X86 Family 6, Model 11, Stepping 4, Genuine Intel ~1196MHz CPU 1200MHz 1.08GHz, 256MB RAM; Physical memory 256.00MB Available memory 26.62MB Total Virtual memory: 2.00GB Available virtual memory: 1.96GB The problem I have been having is that quite often now then computer tells me that my virtual memory is low and that it is creating more. The computer runs slow, freezes and crashes. I have defragged, disc cleanup-ed and virus scanned - often. I have got to the point where I'm considering reformatting the whole thing but I really have no clue as to go about this. Any suggestions would be most welcome, either for fixing the other problems or for reformatting. Many thanks, Chinadoll

You're tried increasing the virtual memory then, manually?
