I have read all of the required reading and run all of the required tests, now I've downloaded and run Highjack this.

I do a lot of photo retouching and drawing on my computer. I am pretty good about using Clean Up and making sure my cache is emptied, I've optimized my computer with another program I downloaded from this site, but I still get the virtual memory thing quite often.

And, without further ado, my log:
