This is a very common error message and before showing how to resolve the low virtual memory error we should maybe explain what it is an what causes it.
What is virtual memory?
You computer has RAM which distributes data from the hard drive to the processor and the other way around. When the RAM memory is running out of space it calls for backup in the form of virtual memory. Virtual memory is just that “Virtual” as it taps into space on the hard drive to give your RAM a bit of backup.
If the amount of Virtual memory available to the operating system is too low you will start to get the virtual memory too lowmessages. The most common reason for getting this message is a recent memory upgrade or setting change. Luckily there is a way to ensure you have enough virtual memory by simply changing a few settings in the virtual memory settings.
