Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding virtual memory:-
1. If you install additional RAM into a machine running XP, will it automatically change the virtual memory size or do you need to do this manually ( I do know how to change it, but just curious to know if it does it automatically)
2. As I understand it Virtual memory is an area on the hard drive used for swapping programs in and out of RAM, so why do you get Virtual Memory low messages?Is it because when you install some equipment, say a web cam, it installs a driver to memory (I think that is normal memory?), so if you get a different web cam and don't remove the original, you will have 2 device drivers taking up RAM, leaving less for programs to run in, therefore need more Virtual memory.
How can I check what Device drivers are being put into memory and remove them if not needed?
Thanks
Steve
