I get a message when trying to use my Comm1 with Windows XP that reads: This program requires at least 3MB of free virtual memory to run. How do I change my virtual memory?

If you get a message when trying to start the Comm1 program that reads: This program requires at least 3MB of free virtual memory to run, you will need to follow the instructions extracted from Microsofts website. There are two ways of accomplishing the same task.

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group on your computer in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure. This is the first way and preferred method. This means that your Control Panel is in Category View:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Performance.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Change under Virtual memory.
4. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change, which is usually the C drive.
5. Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, type 4000 as the new paging file size in megabytes (MB) in both the Initial size (MB) and Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.

If you don't see Perfomance and Maintenance icon, use this second method. This means that your Control Panel is set up in Classic View:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, double click System icon by scrolling towards the bottom of Control Panle window.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Performance.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Change under Virtual memory.
4. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change, which is usually the C drive.
5. Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, type 4000 as the new paging file size in megabytes (MB) in both the Initial size (MB) and Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.

If you decrease the size of either the initial or maximum paging file settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. When you increase the paging file size, you typically do not need to restart your computer.
