Hi Guys.
Every so often (like every other programme I try to load) I get a message saying "your computer is running low on virtual memory, please shut some programmes to free up some space" (or words to that effect) and then it shuts loads of programmes.

I'm currently using Firefox, basically, because IE wont load - and when it does, it shuts after about 3 minutes.

MSN has started playing silly buggers lately and rarely loads up. When it does it freezes and then closes after becoming "not responsive".

I've scanned my computer using AVG and it's not found anything wrong with it.
I've also downloaded this AFT_Cleaner (on your website) and run that to see if it sorted out any problems, but the problems still remain.

I dont know what to do. I don't know what wrong with it. But I do know what I'll do to it, if I can't sort it! It was working fine up until about a week ago and I tried to do a system restore yesterday - but it wasn't having any of it!

I've tried to do a hijackthis log but it does the scan, then loads up a notepad document - but there is no data inside the document to save. I'm not to sure what I'm doing wrong with that?

Please help me guys. Sorry if this is in the wrong place as well.

Jay.

Would appear I've solved the problem.

Had to find the performance settings in my computer and change the MB of virtual memory.

It's done the trick so far, but for how long, nobody knows.

Sorry for disturbing you guys - it was just seriously fecking me off!
