If you want more virtual memory, first let me explain what is virtual memory is. Virtual memory is a paging file that your hard disk uses a RAM. A Hard disk drive is more slower to reach the Ram. So a paging file is used to store the Hard disk info on the RAM. Once All of the info is stored, it starts the program. Here is how you get more RAM.
1. Click Start.
2. Right click computer, then select properties.
(You should be at the system section of your control panel)
3. Click Advanced System Settings.
4. Look for the tab "Advanced", then click on it.
5. Under performance, click settings.
(I will show you how to get more virtual memory in the most advanced way possible.
6. (This will increase your speed) Under visual effects, select "Let windows choose what's best for my computer"
7. Look for the tab "Advanced", then click on it.
8.Under virtual memory, click change.
9. Before selecting how much RAM you want, look under total paging file size for all drives.
10. On Recommended, type the number you see as typical size and maximum size.
11. To complete the changes, you might need to restart your computer.
If none of these solutions worked for you then here is a code you can use to program more RAM.
1. Go to notepad.
2. Type in this code myscript (800000).
3. Click save as, then give it the name "RAM.vbe"
(Vbe is the code format your computer uses to take information and run programs.
4. Click start.
5. In the search box type in RAM.vbe.
6. Drag it to your desktop.
7. Click on it.
(Nothing will usually appear on the screen, but you fan speed might increase due tomore information being used for the RAM

When Windows does not have adequate memory to perform an operation it gives an error?
That's correct. Some things you might do is close some programs; add more physical memory to your computer; increase the settings for virtual memory (which refers to hard disk space used to simulate additional memory).
Do you need install a new hard drive to your old computer or add more memory or both to get it going faster?
Add more RAM. That is the best way. Adding another harddrive would have little effect. Make sure to have plenty of free disk space on your harddrive so Windows can use virtual memory.

How to set memory size on windows xp to 786 so i can run greetings workshop?
You don't 'set' the memory size, you need to add physical memory.
Why add more RAM to my computer?
What is virtual memory? We know that computer stores all the data needed for processing in the RAM. But the RAM has a limit. So when your RAM is full, the computer automatically starts writing information on the hard disk. This utilization of hard disk space in place of real memory is called virtual memory. But, by virtual memory, the computer becomes slow as it takes much longer time to retrieve data from Harddisk. So by adding more RAM you get away from the condition where your computer has to go for Virtual Memory and the speed of the computer is maintained.
How do you run a old 16-bit program in Windows 2000 you try but get 'the system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications'?
1. add a W9x virtual PC session and run it from there.2. add an XP virtual machine session to test and hopefully run it in "compatibility mode".
What causes Windows XP to boot up slowly?
In simplest terms, it is a memory issue. The more programs that are loaded into XP that start on start-up use up more memory. This is true for any version of Windows, but XP is particularly bad about it. The best and quickest solution is to add more memory to the computer. Another cause is if the hard disk hasn't been defragmented in a while. Windows is hard on those. The disk defragmenter that comes with Windows works fine. Defrag your drive at least once a week to keep performance up.
You can no longer start Microsoft Greetings Workshop 1996 you get an error message you are having trouble with a database you have reinstalled the program and still get the error message What shd I do?
the following answer sucks if you dont know how to set the memory size to 786 or less and if you ask wiki how to set the memory size you get an answer "you cant you should set the memory you should just add more." Well its not working because theirs not enough memory .... I have now seen this question on several sites posted as long ago as 2 years. I LOVE greetings Workshop and have had great success with it these several years. Only in the last 2 weeks did I start to get this message--I have removed,reinstalled, etc. to no avail. All I know is that the problem only began for me after using a D-Link wireless to hook my 2nd computer to the Internet via the main one--then both computers began showing this error message. Hmmm NOTE: My solution relies on the use of Virtual PC (free from Microsoft) to create a virtual instance of Windows XP. With Virtual PC you can "dial in" any memory setting that you want for your virtual session (using the "settings" screen for that session). How to install Virtual PC and then create a virtual instance of Windows XP is a discussion that is well outside the scope of this WikiAnswer resource. Microsoft has sufficient documentation to lead you through the steps. The only way that I am able to get Greetings Workshop to run is to use an instance of Windows XP within Virtual PC using the memory settings "dialed in" that are described here. For me... here is the beauty of using Virtual PC... Your Windows XP session is stored in two files... a hard drive file and a settings file. You can create a clean install of Windows XP, then close down Virtual PC and make a backup copy of these two files before continuing. Using this method, it does not matter if your Windows XP session begins slowing down, gets "messed up" or becomes virus laden. Exit Virtual PC, copy the two files from your backup and start again with a clean newly installed Windows XP. My backup copy of Windows XP has all of the programs that I use installed but is otherwise in an unused state... so copying from my backup always produces a clean ready to use version of Window XP with all of my application ready to go. One caveat... when you first create your virtual instance of Windows XP select a really big hard drive setting. This maximum size cannot be changed after installing Windows XP. The actual size of the hard drive file on your computer starts small, then grows dynamically as needed until it reaches the maximum size that you selected when creating the Virtual PC instance of Windows XP. Clearly to use Virtual PC you need a reasonably fast computer, lots of memory helps, and lots of hard drive space. If you have a slow computer or limited memory then your Virtual PC instance of Windows XP will probably run very slowly. This is, admittedly, a rather complicated solution... but it is a solution with lots of unexpected benefits and is the only way that I can, among other things, get my venerable copy of Greetings Workshop to run. If your version of Greetings Workshop does not run with this setup, then try "dialing in" other memory configurations. ============= You can run Greetings Workshop (at least my old version) in Windows XP or Windows Vista Basic if you run Windows XP or Windows Vista Basic as Virtual PC sessions with the proper settings. Virtual PC lets me "dial in" the memory available to the OS. For Windows XP: set memory size to 786mb or less works, set to 787mb or greater does not work. For Windows Vista Basic: set memory size to 903mb or less works, set to 904mb or greater does not work. You do not need to use any compatibility settings with Greetings Workshop... just control the amount of memory available to the OS. I have no idea why this works, but this does explain issues like "I upgraded my Windows XP computer and now Greetings Workshop no longer runs". Best of luck... I have no idea why this fixes the problem, but am happy to say that I now have a new solution to an old problem.
