I started having this problem just a few weeks ago. When I run my PSP I am getting an error msg that says "Virtual Memory Too Low ,must shut down to obtain " or something stupid like that. I don't know what could be causing it to be that low.

I don't have any BS crap on my pc .... other than my music and my PSP, thats pretty much all I run.

I am virus free and I clean my pc daily, any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help...all advice is greatly appreciated :)

Amber, you dont have a problem, really. Nothings "wrong" you just run out of RAM, then run out of virtual memory due to the large files sizes that you work with and the quantity on the clip board.

Tell us how much RAM you have on your PC, and *we'll tell you how you may adjust this to better your situation. Also, if you can boot in to the BIOS, look for a setting called AGP Aperture size, and if it is 64 Mb or higher, lower it to 32Mb, then exit saving your changes.


"We'll" is a qualified statement anticipating 2 correct answers, 5 wrong answers, a few unrelated comments, a retard, jello, an a yet unknown X factor.

Right click on MY Computer . . . and then choose Properties. How much RAM do you have installed?

Also, you might want to use the Aida32 app to know more about your PC in general.

You just need more RAM sweetie, plain and simple.

In the mean time try to lower your scratch pad size, use this as an example
