Virtual Memory Plz Help

[Cole]

I'm trying to change the virtural memory and it isn't working. I'm using Windows 2000 Profesional. every so often a screen will popup and say my virtual memory is low and needs to be changed. I've raised the paging file size but the message still comes up. My whole computer is slowing down even the mouse is lagging sometimes. I'm trying to change the virtual memory by going to computer manegment and with computer manegment(local) selected i go to actions and then properties. when i do this is gives a message saying "Win32: the service can not be started, because it is disabled." Does anyone know how to change the virtural memory or enable Win32 or fix this problem?

Thanks,
Cole

Run regedit from 'START' 'RUN' 'regedit', press OK

Look in
HKLM/SYSTEM/CURRENTCONTROLSET/CONTROL/SESSION MANAGER/MEMORY MANAGEMENT

<DiasblePagingExecutive> should be '0'
<Paging files> should be something like 'C:\pagefile.sys 256 512'

If <Paging Files> is something else, just delete content and exit.

Set the size of the virtual memory as usual in
My Computer/Properties/Advanced/Performance/Virtual Memory

Restart

Hopefully this solved your problem, it solved my problem that was similar.
