Just installed McAfee Internet Security 2009.......yes I know it's 2010....I'm just a procrastenator.
After I installed, and all seemed to be going well, I randomly get messages as I am surfing to the effect "...not enough virtual memory..."
never have seen that before.....installing McAfee.
I checked my windoze and it is supposed to handle the virtual memory ....what might be wrong
and what do I need to do to remedy this?
I also ran the "Virtual Technician" and it said nothing was wrong?
Thanks

Hi Sicnarf,
This problem is mostly seen in computers that do not have a required amount of physical memory.Virtual memory, also known as a page file or swap file, is a file on your hard drive (C:\pagefile.sys by default) that Windows and applications use in addition to physical memory (RAM) as needed.
Could you please provide me the following infomation so that I could provide you some information on this,
What is the operating system you use ?
How old is the computer ?
Right click on my computer and let me know the size of RAM ?
Regards,
Dinesh K
I have 768 MB Ram, with a 1.24GHz Sempron CPU running WinXP SP3. The machine is about 4 years old.
Also can you tell me how to find the "version" of McAffe that I am running?
Thanks

Hi Sicnarf,
You can increase the size of your page file if there is space available on the hard disk.
*Logon as an Admin, hold down the Windows logo key and press Pause/Break to open System Properties. Click the Advanced Tab. In the *Performance section click Settings. Click Advanced Tab again.
*In Virtual Memory section click Change. Choose the appropriate drive in the first window. Below that choose Custom Size and increase the value in the Maximum Size(MB) box.
* Click set, ok, and then restart your computer
