Virtual Memory message logging into a website

[rufus.t.firefly]

Tried to access a regular website that I access on a regular basis. Can access from my desktop pc but if I use my laptop I get a downloading box and a message saying microsoft internet explorer was unable to open this site. the requested site is unavailable ...please try again later

Yet if I switch on the desktop I can access the site , an ideas ?? Keep getting a message about virtual memory low ? yet I can access other websites with no access.

Any ideas:\

Thanks DBTL , I'll try and give it a go.

Cannot understand why I can access a certain website from my desktop but cannot access it from my laptop. Every other website I access from the laptop has no problems at all.

I just get that damn downloading box + virtual memory notification along the
taskbar. If I open it in another link i.e. www.xxxxxxxxx.co.uk/content etc by adding a sub page I just get a page of letters and symbols !

Have run anti virus and system restore to see if anything untoward has been
added or snook onto the machine but the scan says its okay.

Annoying to say the least:*

Are you running XP, and does it auto update patches? If yes, have a look at the stickies at the top of the page, Microsoft screwed up a patch a couple of weeks back, and there are all sorts of strange unrelated symptoms to this bug.

Might not be related, but based on painful experience with a good few machines here, it's worth checking it out.

some tweaking of the virtual memory required
