Windows 7 64-bit - keep getting out of memory message
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit with 3GB memory and everything up to date.
I suspect Firefox in this but I keep getting a running-out-of-memory message and Windows asks to shut down offending programs. This often happens when I'm only running Firefox and I know it's a memory hog anyway. And the system does indeed shut down Firefox. I'm not sure what would happen with multiple files open because I err.. kind of ignored the message when it first started happening.
Anyway, one of the solutions offered is to change pagefile size although they don't give any hints as to how to determine what it should be.
I get a little twitchy changing windows automatic settings for things like this but what I have done is clear the automatically manage all drives box. Then I left my "C" drive alone and added the drives with applications to be system managed. This is primarily the drive I run most of my apps from.
Will what I've done have any effect on my virtual memory or do I just have to remember to close and clear Firefox periodically? Or something else??
Thanks as usual for the help.
