|
Answer» microsoft has a phone number for pc security help (866.727.2338). i was on hold over 30 minutes & gave up. i tried to find out how to SEND microsof t an email or get online support for Windows Defender, but couldn't navigate thru microsoft's website to their email address nor their online support specific to windows defender---can anyone send me this specific info? XP on 256 MG of RAM is the bare minimum...consider adding some RAM to that system.My computer runs amazingly with 256mb of ram, but I have A gigabyte of virtual memory.mikewithaprob: any suggestions how i can get my virtual memory to a gigabyte? Quote soybean, i checked my virtual memory & there is 192 mb total paging file size for all drives---do I need to change this, & if so, change to what?Yes, I would change it. Here's a reference which suggests 250MB on a computer with 256 MB of RAM, as the Minimum setting, but also set a high Maximum size — 700 or 800 MB or even more if there is plenty of disk space. For more, read the article: Virtual Memory in Windows XP . Quote i heard a suggestion to download CCleaner to free up more space on my computer--is this a good idea?CCleaner is a very good cleanup tool to free up some space on your hard drive and to remove some clutter from Windows Registry. So, it's a good thing to install and use on a regular basis. Quote also saw "Reminder" on bottom toolbar when I opened pc this afternoon. I don't know what it is a reminder for as I could not view any properties so I closed it. Could this be a computer viur or spyware? thanks, dedeCan you post more info on that? Do you have anti-virus software installed? Do you have any spyware removal tools installed? Quote mikewithaprob: any suggestions how i can get my virtual memory to a gigabyte?Go to My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Under Performance click Settings then set it to what ever you want it to be.soybean, initial size virtual memory was set at 192 mb & max size at 384. the pc said RECOMMENDED size is 381 so i set initial size at 381 & maximum size at 384--will this help the problem w/ messages i've been getting that virtual memory is too low, & will this work w/ only 1.55 gb free space on c drive? i posted: also saw "Reminder" on bottom toolbar when I opened pc this afternoon.

The more you contribute the faster you can arrive at a solution.My pc recommended virtual memory size of 381 so i set initial size at 381 & maximum size at 384--will this help the problem w/ messages i've been getting that virtual memory is too low, & will this setting work w/ only 1.55 gb free space on c drive? How do I collect more information to report here about the "Reminder" that pops up as an icon on the bottom toolbar on my screen from time to time? There are no properties provided, I think it only gave me the option to open or close. i have norton antivirus & windows defender that i run--is this enough? thanks! dede |
