My computer keeps crashing. Often it happens when I am scrolling with the mouse or when I hit the page down key. The computer also hangs so that I cannot use the mouse. I have only only 192 RAM but have recently increased the virtual memory. This improved matters for about 48 hrs. Then back to repeated crashing.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in anticipation.
Don't know if it will fix your problem, but you should let windows handle your virtual memory page file size.

192 MB RAM is somewhat on the low side for running XP, though you can get by with 256 MB of RAM. Are you using onboard video ? That could also be using up some of the available RAM.

Thanks for your replies Guapo, Aegis1 & kx5m2g.
eventvwr.msc revealed the following Errors :
Applications :
WMI Adapter
Crypt 32
PerfnetSystem :
Service Control Manager
DHCPI am not running onboard video.
I will adopt Aegis1's suggestion re Virtual Memory.
Do these Error Messages suggest several problems ?
Hoping you can help further.
And thanks again,
Ian

That's not the complete error from the event viewer. Double click on each error for a complete description.

Also try to defrag your computer's hard disk they might be messed up that's why your computer is slowing up.

Before anything, try a static IP & static DNS IP addresses.
If that doesn't work, look at the information on the site I posted.
