Windows is low on Virtual Memory. Huh?!

[Firegod]

Hi,

Just been playing PoE2 (a mod for BF2) and it's been freezing and crashing sometimes. When I came out of the game tonight, Windows had a little icon saying that I was low on Virtual Memory.

The reason I'm confused is because I have 2Gb of RAM. I have set the pagefile on another hard drive to 1024 - 1024mb (i.e. 1Gb).

I have checked in TaskManager and it reports that the Peak Commit Charge was 1778208(K). Total Memory is 2095536(K).

Do people think I should perhaps increase the page file to perhaps 1.5Gb?

Thanks.

Thanks guys.

I don't want to set it so that Windows manages it, because of fragmentation (regardless of if it only is a small amount) I'd rather have it a set size which I know. The funny thing is, I've never seen this before on my machine, it's only since using this mod on BF2, which makes me think perhaps it's a bug???

Regardless, thanks for the help, I shall try increasing it slightly to see if that helps first of all. With regards to hard drive space, I have 48Gb free on my Raptor (Windows Drive) and 175Gb free on the Seagate (Games Drive / PageFile Drive).

Thanks for that link, I'll have a read of it.

Ok guys, I'll set it back to Windows.
