Am receiving low memory error messages. My RAM memory is 448 m b it should be at lest 512 m b. Virtual memory: Initial size 672, recommended 669. Currently allocated 672 m b. Maximum size 1344. I believe I should increase the virtual memory size. Can
Anybody tell me if this is right and if so how?

If memory serves me, microsoft recommends 1.5 X amount of RAM for the size of the pagefile.

To change your pagefile setting go to your System Properties in Control Panel.

Click on the Advanced tab, then click on the Settings Button under "Performance"

That will open a new window and you will want to click on the Advanced tab on the "Performance Options" window. Once there, click on the "Change" button under "Virtual Memory" and adjust it how you want it set.

Just so you know, a "Low Memory" isn't a "pagefile too small" error. I think you're barking up the wrong tree changing the pagefile size but it is worth a try.
