Friends,
Twice during the past several months a message has popped up saying something like "Your Virtual Memory is low.  Windows is increasing your VM, but some applications may be affected".
I'm ashamed to admit that I have absolutely no idea what is going on.  The machine is an Acer Laptop (Aspire 3003WLMi), running Windows XP Pro and with 512 MB DDR Memory.
Should this be increased to 1 GB or more?  I have opened the case of two desktops over the past 6 or 8 years and put in an extra memory stick.  I really didn't know what I was doing, but just followed the steps that came with the Kingston (I think) memory.  By some stroke of luck everything worked just fine.  I have been a radio ham op for 60+ years so was bit familiar and at ease with electronic gadgets.
I am older now and more clumsy, and would be afraid of digging around inside into the miniature (probably) innards of this thing
Gentle suggestions would be much appreciated.
Doc, W4ITJ.
