Low virtual memory
Hi there,
I hope someone may be able to help me. A relative of mine is using a program called "Pinnacle" to edit movies made with a digicam. They keep getting a warning that the virtual memory is too low. I find this hard to belive as they have 1 GB of RAM. Could the PC be infected with something (virus scans using McAfee are clear) or might it just be a case of increasing the virtual memory?
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated!
