Quick question for pc wizard's
I'm using an old Gateway tower, which is really old. I purchased it new. I've replaced the hard drive 3times and the power switch once.

I keep getting warned that my virtual memory is low and windows proceeds to increase it. I have to reboot several times a day because of this.

How do I go about increasing memory on this? Is this something I can do? What I'm asking is......how difficult is this to do?

No money here to purchase another pc as I can do almost everything on this one that I want. I've certainly gotten my money's worth already.

Sure do appreciate anyone who replies.

At bottom click Change (Virtual Memory)
Increase the paging file size.
You can change it to D: drive if you have it
