Virtual Memory too low Warning Trouble in win xp and vista

When there is less physical memory than needed, then some virtual memory (virtual RAM) is created on the disk. When there is a limit set to the size of virtual memory usage and there is not enough of it present there is a warning that frequently comes “Virtual Memory too low”.

Solution 1 :
This problem occurs when physical RAM + Virtual RAM (usually created on hard disk) together are not sufficient to take care of the currently needed RAM size, or this situation is about to arise. This usually happens when some fixed upper limit for Virtual Memory has been set. To solve this problem, you can either upgrade you physical RAM on your computer (recommended), or you can set the Virtual Memory to system managed size or you can do both. Setting Virtual Memory to system managed size means windows will set it to higher size whenever needed automatically,for this,


Right click on My computer --> goto properties, goto advanced tab, click on performance settings, now click on advanced, now click on advanced, now click on change button for Virtual memory.

On this screen select the System managed size, press OK. After this re-start your computer. This will solve the virtual memory too low problem.

Solution 2: Recommended solution is to upgrade your physical memory (RAM) according to requirements of the kind of applications that you run on your computer. If you upgrade RAM or not, the following procedure will help prevent this warning by increasing the virtual memory limit.
  • Right click on My computer icon and click properties.
  • This will show system properties window. Click on a advanced tab and click on the settings button under heading performance.
  • This will open performance options window. Click on advanced tab and click on change button under heading virtual memory.
  • Check if the space available is set to some custom value or double the RAM size ?
  • If it is not double the RAM memory size , then select the size option set the virtual memory size double the RAM Size and press set button and press OK button.
  • Restart the computer.

Go to the cmd prompt .
Type net user *.

Increase Hard Disk speed in Windows

If you like to increase/optimize your Hard Disk I/O - read/write speed without buying expensive software utilities to do that job or changing the HD, just follow next steps. With doing these steps you will increase Hard disk speed (depends of manufacture and specification, but its worth to try). The most speed improvement is visible with IDE drives; however there are reports that this tweak also does good for SCSI disks.

In any case, it won't harm your system, so try it yourself and let me know what you find!

Steps:

1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the start & then Run command.
2. Expand the system.ini file window.
3. Scroll down almost to the end of the file untill you find a line called [386enh].
4. Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type
5. Irq14=4096 (note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE)
6. Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
7. Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.
8. Restart windows!

The speed improvement will be noticed just after the system reboots, any system info. software can be used to check the improvement.

How to Hack Into a Windows XP Computer Without Changing Password:

There is a far better way to get into Windows XP. It is easy and it does not reset the password. Hack into a computer running Windows XP without changing the password and find out all and any passwords on the machine (including admin accounts). You do not need access to any accounts to do this. Of course, do not do this on anyone elses computer without proper authorisation.

1. Get physical access to the machine. Remember that it must have a CD or DVD drive.
2. Download DreamPackPL HERE:-

9. Backup your original sfcfiles.dll by typing:
"ren C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll sfcfiles.lld" (without quotes)
10. Copy the hacked file from CD to system32 folder. Type:
"copy D:\i386\pinball.ex_ C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll" (without quotes and assuming your CD drive is D:)
11. Type "exit", take out disk and reboot.

Laptop Tips

Battery charge - Laptop autonomy
Discharge completely your battery at least once per month. 
Security - Laptop tracking
Use the CyberAngel security solution to track your laptop in case it is stolen. 
Viruses
It is not enough to have an antivirus program installed. It needs to be kept up-to-date, and we recommend to update it at least once per week. 
Windows Updates
Make sure that your computer downloads Window Updates periodically and frequently. This will enhance stability and security of your operating system. 
Carrying
Always use an appropriate carrying bag when traveling, to enhance shock absorption. Whenever you need to ship your laptop through a carrier (SUPS, FedEx, UPS, etc...), always use packaging specifically designed for laptops transit. 
Shocks
Because of they are designed to maximize mobility, laptops are prone to shocks. Always turn your laptop OFF before you move your notebook from a place to another, unless it is well stabilized on a stand that is designed to absorb shocks. 
Humidity
Laptops are very sensitive to humidity. Avoid liquid exposure as much as you can (water, wine, etc...). 
Dust
Laptops are very sensitive to dust. Make sure the laptop is never left on a floor, but that it is always high on a table, desk, stand, etc... Check vents frequently to see if they are not obstructed.  
Preventing Laptop Computer Theft
Laptop computers are easy targets for thieves.  Laptop computers are small, valuable, can be removed quickly, and are easily hidden.  Laptop computers can be worth up to $5000 or more.  The laptop computer can be pawned at a pawnshop for half its value. 
Here are a few tips to reduce the risk of having your laptop stolen. 
  • Don’t leave your laptop out in the open even for a second.
  • Remember extreme temperatures can cause damage to your laptop.
  • Transport your laptop in a nondescript case.
  • Write down the serial number and keep it in a safe place.
  • Always back up your information on disks and store them in a safe place.

What features should you look for?

Most of the features to look for in selecting a mobile antivirus solution are the same ones you're familiar with in choosing one for your PC: 
·                                 Support for your device. You have to check that any software supports the operating system and device you want to protect. For instance, most antivirus vendors are updating their products to cover Windows Mobile 5.0—but, be sure to verify before you buy.
·                                 Easy-to-use. If it isn't easy, let's be honest, you're not going to do it. Not only must the installation be easy and foolproof; but the interface I use day-to-day needs to be clear and useful.
·                                 Automatic, over-the-air (OTA) updates. Antivirus vendors constantly update their products to recognize new threats, and over-the-air is the best way to deliver those updates. If you have to wait until you synchronize to receive updates, you could be going outside wearing yesterday's virus protection.
·                                 Real-time virus scanning. This may slow your device a little, but this is the best form of protection. Antivirus software should examine all attachments for viruses.
·                                 Intrusion detection. When you set up a Windows Mobile 5.0 device, you'll find that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are "OFF" by default. If you have an earlier version of Windows Mobile operating system, check the Help files on your device or contact your device provider for instructions on how to turn off these services. In either case, read about how to activate them safely. Then, it isn't as crucial to have intrusion detection.
·           
                      Support for you. When I have a security-related question, I want a fast answer. My company is intentionally small, and we don't have an in-house support staff. So, the type of support that a vendor offers is often a deciding factor on whether I'll buy or not. Besides an easy-to-use Web knowledge base, I want rapid-response e-mail, live chat, and phone support.
