My friends gave me a computer that had windowsxp sp1. Windows upgraded me to sp3. Everytime I try to do anything I get a message that says my virtual memory is low then it ends what I'm doing. My questions is: How can I get more virtual memory or How can I fix this problem? Thank You P.s. I know the forum catagory does not match my windows but I could not find a forum for windowsxp.

Right click My Computer, select properties, select Advanced, select performance>settings>advanced>virtual memory>change. Make sure Let Windows manage the paging file is checked.
