what is it and why is my minimum too low?

Depends on your ramm,

I'm cluless here Dubz

I'll take care of it.

How do I free it up?

I think you have an excellent medium,,I mean
minimum

free up dat ram, baby

try rebooting, usually works, if not u can look at your, system ram, and turn up virtual memory if you still gettin that error,

A balloon popped up saying something like Windows was getting more....bla bla bla. How do you run low?

virtual memory is just what gets paged to the hardrive, usually if you have buncha, programs running in the back it gets lows,

shall we reboot now or reboot lat er,baby????

Do you mean like The Weather Channel?

have you ever looked in windows explorer onto your C drive??

Machines with less than 1 gigabyte of RAM: I set swap space to be roughly three times RAM.

Machines with between 1 and 2 gigabytes of RAM: I set swap space to be about twice RAM or perhaps less.

Machines with 2 gigabytes or more: I set swap space to be the same as RAM, or sometimes one gigabyte, though there's even an argument for setting it to zero in a case like this.

Usually when it does that you have too many programs on your computer or too many running.

Commit Charge will give you a good upper limit of how much memory your system is attempting to use. Subtract from that maximum value the amount of RAM you have and you'll get a reasonable approximation of how much swap space you need. I'd probably round that up by a healthy amount, just to be safe.

For example if on my system with 2 gigabytes of RAM my commit charge ended up being something like 3650meg (3.6 gig, roughly), then I'd subtract off the 2 gig to come up with about 1.6gig. I'd round that up and set my swap space to 2 gigabytes.

Sounds like you're in good hands......Go Dubz

if that makes any sense,

It means you hard drive is getting too full for the virtual memory. See how much of it is allocated for it, free up space on your hard drive, or buy more memory..

To many programs running in the back ground.....
