OK
.. my computer keeps showing me a dialogue box saying " windows virtual memory is too low" and is increasing it ... so if it has increased it why does it keep saying the same thing every time l turn the bloody thing on :mad: :mad:

and its sooooooooo slow, l can rustle up a 4 course meal for 800 whilst waiting for my home page to appear buy the time l get sky news up the news is 2 wks old :rotfl: :rotfl:

lm with sky connect...??? can l hear nodding of heads knowingly for some reason:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
or am l paranoid about my connection :eek:

ive cleared out : temp internet files : recycle bin : disc clean up : polished the keyboard and sworn at it ******* :rotfl: ive offered it a glass of wine and chocolates , even threatened it with the naughty stick

AND STILL SHE SULKS in the corner

should l just forget it and take up knitting blankets for poorly hedghogs??

Is it just your internet conection that's slow? Or is it slow offline as well? If the latter, try defragging it (which you should be doing regularly anyway). Could you also check how much hard drive free space you have, and how much RAM (memory) you have installed? This might gives some clues. Post again if you need help to get this info.

hi
yes thats the word l was searching for "DE FRAGGED" ... yes l do that reguarly , and have plenty of hard drive left, lm not a heavy user as such [ god l sound like a druggie :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ] and dont save a lot of stuff just use it for pleasure not work or anything.

where can l find out how much " RAM " l have ??

l love goats but only have a spaniel at home [ sorry couldnt help that] just ignore me


thanks for your help will get back to you when l have checked out the details you,ve mentioned

To check how much RAM is installed, go Start>Control Panel. Click System. General tab will show how many goats, sorry RAM you have. As a general rule, if your OS is XP and you have less than 512MB, then you should upgrade.
Also check if your Windows Updates are up to date: on same tab, under system, does it say Windows XP...'Service Pack 2' or 'Service Pack 3'?
