My buddy's pc keeps showing a low on viritual memory error. He has 2 - 128 mb
of ram. His viritual memory was set at 348. I changed it to 400, 450 and
finally 500. It seemed to work fine after that but now seems worse. He's
running xp. Before changin the size of the file he could open his account but
not his wife's. Can anyone help?

He should limit itself to a few applications.
On top of that using the TaskManager he could see what application is using
a lot of memory...
