It seems my free physical memory is not being restored after closing programs. I have installed Cacheman and has helped monitor the situation. I also get low memory errors even when system resources are very free: physical memory at 175MB+ and virtual at 90%+ free

Well, to start off: Tell me your system specs which should help diagnose the problem. Also, what programs are you running as well as in the background?

my problem is when i start up a extrat my cumputer say"low memory" ... way?

P3 800 256 MB RAM. Any and all product eventually. Get "not enough memory" to open application--usually right after closing a stalling program that gives me a dll error at closing--sometimes kernell32 sometimes wmplayer--depending upon the program I am closing. Most recently I got the not enough memory after closing one Word file and trying to open another. I also happened in the middle of a large powerpoint--or at the end of using media player or Media Studio Pro. I have installed Cacheman and that has helped lessen the occurence. I just installed a shareware RAM idle program which has solved another issure--the physical memeory would not regain itself after heavy applications. I would start at 195MB free physical mem it would quickly go down to near zero--after closing the program I was lucky to get physical memory to get past 75MB. The RAMIdle software is forcing my memory to regain itself. It has been up for 4 hours without a memory error. I have my fingers crossed Thanks for the help (in advance)

I have the same problem..
