There is not enough information to diagnose your problem. Again I suggest...
To check your virtual memory settings, goto:

Control Panel, System, Advanced tab, Performance - Settings button, Advanced
tab, Virtual Memory - Change button

If the amount of allocated virtual memory is too small, then you can have a
problem. You should usually select and Set the "System managed size" radio
button at that location, then there shouldn't be a major problem.

Otherwise, the easiest solution might be to do a System Recovery if you have
a restore point before the problem started. If that doesn't fix it, and if
it is a serious problem (?), then you should consider reformatting the hard
drive and reinstalling the operating system. You will need a set of recovery
CDs to do that. If that doesn't fix the problem, then it is probably faulty
hardware, perhaps a hard drive problem.

Good luck!

| Installed memory (RAM) is physical memory, strips of memory plugged into
| your motherboard. Typically you would have an amount such as 64MB,
128MB,
| 256MB, 512MB, or whatever. Consult the specifications for your computer.
Or
| download and run this Belarc Advisor utility which will provide some
basic
| information about your computer:
| http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
|
| What does it say about your installed RAM (memory)? If it is 128MB or
less,
| then that may be the cause of your problem. You may need to plug in more
RAM
| to your motherboard. But if it is 256MB or more, then you probably
shouldn't
| have that kind of problem.
|
| What software titles are your running when you get the error message
about
| virtual memory? What are their names?
|
| There can be a limit to how much software you can run simultaneously
| (multitask). Eventually the processor will get overworked and the system
| will get sluggish, perhaps producing messages such as you obtained. With
my
| computer I can run up to about 20-25 different software applications
| simultaneously before that happens, but it is different with each
computer.
| Your practical limit might be 10 programs, or whatever, depending on
what
| they are.
|
| Virtual memory requires some hard drive space. So if you don't have much
| free hard drive space, you need to make some. Get rid of software and
data
| that you don't need or use.

| There are several possible causes, and several possible ways to
correct
| the
| problem. First the cause must be diagnosed. To do that requires
quite a
| bit
| of information about your computer, and what software you are
running.
| If
| your computer is still under warranty, you would do well to ask
Compaq
| tech
| support for help.
|
| In a nutshell, assuming there isn't some kind of serious software or
| hardware malfunction, the usual reason is that you don't have enough
| memory
| installed to handle the software you are running. So adding more
memory
| has
| a good chance of helping, if you only have a small amount of memory
| installed now.
|
| How much installed memory do you have?
| What software are you running?
