MayankHi,
For WinXp I can tell u the way to increase ur virtual memory.
1.Right Click on My Computers.
2.Properties.
3.Advanced.
4.Performance Section -> Settings.
5.Advanced.
6.Last Section is related to Virtual Memory.
7.Increase that.
But use this intelligently because incresing it to a very huge size mat also hinder the performance.
Hope this andwers ur query.
Thanks and Regards,

adisame problem in window 2000 (NT). what can i do.

MayankVirtual Memory Manager
Just check this......
1. Control Panel / System.
2. Locate the Virtual Memorysettings:
Windows NT - Performance / Change
Windows 2000 - Advanced / Performance / Change
3. Set the Initial Size and Maximum Size accordingly.
I think this should help you.
Buddy, the problem is that I dont actually have a Windows NT/2000 system with me, else could have explained you better.
Neways, you know there is another way of increasing it through making changes in the "boot.ini" file. I would suggest not to go for it, coz it hav few contrainst on it. Here it goes:
snippet from boot.ini file.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="????" /3GB

The above link will be a fruitful one for you.

Rahul JamgadeGyus a suggestion.
Though the suggestion is good but generally it is hust a workaround for the problem.
At times you may find the performance degrades with the increase in virtual memory.
Reason is as gollows :

At times you may find the performance degrades with the increase in virtual memory.
RAM: 3000 MB/s
Hard Disk:10 - 40 MB/s
As can be seen the RAM is X times faster than hard disk.
The mircrosoft recommenndation is ,
Virtual memory = 2 X Physical RAM.
If the pagefile usage is more than 25 % as can be seen using 'perfmon' utility in windows , it means you really need to updgrade the Physical memory i.e. RAM. -
