Solve : Virtual Memory and Processes?

Answer»

Hello All,
Received a windows pop up stating that my vm was low and Windows was reproducing, etc.
I re-booted and the pop up was no longer visible.
Did a ctrl/alt/delete to Task Manager>processes tab>view>select column>clicked vm size box>clicked the top of the vm column and found 2 ScanningProcesses.exe. One using 140,736K and the other using 140,732K - also a Zlclient.exe using 15,560K.
I thought maybe the three were combined, so i posted on the ZA forum.

This is my first experience with this situation and the first using the Task Manager.
Is it normal to be running two ScanningProcesses.exe ? Alot of my processes are using 12-98,000K, is this normal ?

Thank you for any help offered.It all depends how much RAM/VM you have.
Look at the bottom of Task Manager, and see what PERCENTAGE of physical memory is used.
dear BRONI,

thank you for the response.

went into task manager>Performance tab with these RESULTS:

Physical Memory
Total K = 3135564
Available K = 2687784
System Cache K = 539712

but the numbers in available k and system cache k are in constant motion.What are the "Commit charge" number at the bottom of Task Manager?
How much RAM do you have?broni,

Commit Charge

Total = 829144
Limit = 3745960
Peak = 949468
PF Usage = 792MB

2.79GHz, 2.99GB RAM
PAESince you have 3GB of RAM, your VM (min and max) should be set to approx. 4.5GBbroni,

the Windows - VM Minimum Too Low pop up just came back on

will you please tell me "how" to set the VM to the parameters that you suggested ?

i'll re-boot in the meantime - that will temporarily HOLD off the pop up.

thank you for taking the time to help me and all the other PEOPLE with "problems" ! Here: http://www.theeldergeek.com/physically_setting_the_page_file_size.htm
