Q: I use Windows 2000 and have DSL service. My computer is 10 years old. About two weeks ago, everything began slowing down. My speed is fine. I did a complete virus scan and there are no viruses. I did a defrag and it did not help. Every time I use my computer, a message comes up saying I am low on virtual memory and Windows is increasing its size. Suggestions?
A: When a computer needs more memory than can be furnished by the actual RAM chips — a super quick form of memory — installed, it creates a substitute memory using the hard disk. Memory created this way is much slower than what you get from a chip since the chip is a solid state device and the hard disk is mechanical.
You can add more RAM memory; it's pretty cheap these days. Even if you don't add memory, turn the computer off and restart it a few times each day. That can release memory. Windows has a nasty habit of holding onto memory, even when the program using it closes.
