The only time I have seen that message (YMMV) is when the physical memory
was too small and/or the swap file was set too small, (or limited in some way, like
running in a fixed size RAM drive).

I would change the Virtual Memory settings to 1 1/2 to 2 times the physical RAM...
(OTOH, I never ran an XP system with less that 512M ram.)

I have another question regarding my PC.  When I boot up sometimes lately I receive a message that reads as follows:  "Windows
Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low.  Your system is low on virtual memory.  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging
file.  During this process, memory requests for some applications may be denied."  My daughter at college with a two-year-old Dell
PC is receiving the same message.  It doesn't appear all the time, nor does it seem to interfere noticeably with operations.  Should
we be dumping or rearranging files?  My system information is:  Total physical memory--256 MB, Available physical memory--19.04 MB,
Total virtual memory--2.00 GB, Available virtual memory--1.96 GB, Page File Space--1,009.71 MB.  Any advice would be really
appreciated!!  Thanks in advance for all your help!!
