Laptop Freezes and display low vitual memory

I got this computer from a friend but it didn't come with any disc. It was used for a business for years and worked fine; internet access, porgrams, video's etc. All the business programs and passwords have been taken off. I have total access but now when I try to hook it up to the internet, pull up or put on programs it says it has low virtual memory it freezes and stops me from being able to do anything. I just want to know how to reset it back to the factory setting so I can use it. If you know anything else I should be aware of concerning this system I will appreciate knowing that also. Thanks for the help.

Hi there,

The best option is to find out which RAM it uses and purchase some more, as it was a business computer it is most likly only have 256mb of ram as it dont need many programs.

if you purchase 2 1gb sticks this will sort your problem out for under £40.

To reset your computer back to factory setting, you will need to purchase a windows XP operating system disc from a computer store, this will then take you through the steps.

hope this hels

using your keyboard hold down the windows key and then press R. Once the Run box comes up type in sysdm.cpl

-Click on the Advanced tab

-if it's on System managed size click on Custom Size
-Type in the recommended size for the Initial and Maximum size

it means the amount of hard drive free space is either low or it means you must increase the limit of this space. first remove any un-necessary files by doing the following: 1.) open explorer and click c drive. 2.) right click and select properties 3.) select "disk cleanup" now select the Tools tab above and select "check now" now select "Defragment now" next, right click "my computer" on desktop then select Advanced tab and select "settings" then select next Advanced tab and select "change" in the virtual memory area. type in the maximum under custom size and select "set" and ok out.
