[JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
Hi, I am using windows XP with 3 GB ram with latest Jaws 12. I was listening live to a NFL football game today on my computer when I heard a sound, but it didn't sound like the sound you get with a fatal error. I lost Jaws and my wife told me that the screen stated a message low on virtual memory. She closed the screen and after that I got another message something to do with bector and Internet explorer 8 for which I have no idea what that means. I don't recall any other problems with IE8 and I had only the home page of the radio station and a second page for the audio opened. For what it is worth, here is the URL of the radio station. When I got the page, I pressed enter on listen live. http://www.espn980.com/ Does anyone have any idea what caused the error and what should I do? Even after my wife got me back to the desktop, Jaws was stilll not talking. So, I aborted Jaws (insert key+Windows key+F4) and use the shortcut key to bring back Jaws. Any help and suggestions will greatly be appreciated. Take care. Lennie For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
The first thing I would do is reboot the pc. It sounds like your memory is getting full. IF you haven't rebooted in a while than now is agood time. If this isn't the problem than the player your using to listen to the stream may not be freeing up memory as needed. If this is the case next time just try closing the program and restarting it. - Original Message - From: "Lennie" To: Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2011 4:32 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory Hi, I am using windows XP with 3 GB ram with latest Jaws 12.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
Hi Brad and Hans, I cannot close the program that caused the error since Jaws stopped working and I cannot get rid of the error message. I have just power off the computer and started it again to get around the problem. The audio streaning is causing the problem filling up the virtual memory and perhaps Jaws was also in virtual memory which may be the reason why it stopped talking. Aborting Jaws took care of the problem after my wife got rid of all the junk on the screen. I do have a lot of programs running in the background. When I listen to the next game in two weeks, I am going to close everything that I have in the system tray before the game starts and hopefully I will have enough virtual memory to get through three hours of the game. I suppose increasing the virtual memory could fix the problem? Anyway, thanks for both of your suggestions.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
With 3 gig of ram you really can't add any more that xp will use. Besides of cleaning out some on the task tray. You can also make sure you have no programs in the background like virus, spyware, backup, or defragger running. Another thing you can look at is how much you have left on the c:drive. If you get low on space you can see those kinds of messages. At 05:32 PM 10/2/2011, you wrote: Hi, I am using windows XP with 3 GB ram with latest Jaws 12.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
Do you have a second internal hd in your box? You can manually set the size of the swap file (virtual memory); the recommended size is 1.5 times the amount of hardware RAM in your system. however, this is a setting you should only takcle if you are comfotable doing so and also know what you are doing. *g* If you set this up wrong, your box might not boot anymore and that's something to be avoided. So maybe you have a computer geeky friend to walk you thru the steps the first time. Once you know your way aroudn the settings and get comfrotable with it, this is not difficult at all and i have manually been configuring my swap file for more than 10 years and going back to win 9x.. If you have a second physical hard drive in your box (an internal not an external drive) you can further speed up your system by putting most of your virtual memory on the second drive, preferably on a partition of its own so the page file does not become fragmented. Again, though, this is something you want to be sure you know what you are doing so that you don't accidentally render your box inoperational. If having the page file on a 2nd drive is not an option, there are utilities out there that will defrag system files - and the page file (virtual menory is such a system file) during bootup as they cannot be accessed and defragged during regular windows operation because they are in use then. There are several good defrag programs available that have the option of defragging system files at bootup. I like open source and free and am using "ultradefrag" for this . And to get this back on course *g*, "Ultradefrag" does work quite nicely with jaws. *smile* Before changing settings, though, make sure your computer is running at its best being properly maintained with regular spyware checks, not running unnecessary programs and services in the background, being defragged regularly, etc. and if you do decide to monkey around with your virtual menory settings, be really careful, create a restore point before you do, and preferably have someone walk you thru the steps in the beginning. This said, I monkeyed for myself but I have the luxury of having a fully sighted hubby who saves my butt every now and then when I get in trouble. *g* Good luck and safe computing!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
Ok, with that much free space on the drive. You don't need to change that. Another thing you can look at is what is playing the game for you. This could be media player or possible quick time. They both have buffers for playing content from the Internet. Only media player has all the catches and don't forget to turn off its Internet junk collector. You will see them in the preferences. You don't have to worry about quick time, because it don't garbage collect on what you play like media player does. Also check for tool bars on the browser. Just about everything now has junk installing with it. The last is to watch what is scanning in background when playing this content. Between it and buffing the stream might run you out of ram. This one may or nay not help you. Sense jaws has no garbage collection on its self in ram. opening up programs puts scripts in ram. When those programs close that ram usage is suppose to be reclaimed. What ever fool works there removed it and now it loads up on junk ram scripts. So a ram dumper or killing jaws and restarting is the only way to stop this load up of ram.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
Hi Doris, Yes, I do have an additional internal drive D. I do not have the luxury of having someone here to help me set up that drive for virtual memory. Your warning is enough for me not to do anything. My computer support is my daughter and she is over 3 hours from here and she is very busy with her job. For that reason, she does not come here very often. I don't know if she can help me over the phone, but for now, I just deal with it as it is. Thanks for your suggestions. I will keep this information should I use my D drive for virtual memory in the future. Unfortunately, the drive already has two partitions with a lot of MP3 files in both partitions and I don't think that I want to repartition it just to have a third one for paging for fear of messing up all my files. In the meantime, I will try to keep my system free of clutter when I listen to the football game on it. I do run CCleaner at least once a week and I was told to go into Internet Explorer and remove all temporary files and history. I will see how it goes when my team plays again on the 15th of October. Again, thanks for your help. I really do appreciate your suggestions. Take care. Lennie At 08:13 PM 10/3/2011, you wrote: Do you have a second internal hd in your box?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
For media player its under tools, options. All the settings you need are in there. At 04:05 PM 10/4/2011, you wrote: Hi Trouble, Thanks for your feedback. I have one question. Where do I turn off the Internet junk collector? I couldn't find the preference in either in Window Media Player or the Internet to do that. Am I missing something? Thanks. Take care.

This could be media player or possible quick time. They both have buffers for playing content from the Internet. Only media player has all the catches and don't forget to turn off its Internet junk collector. You will see them in the preferences. You don't have to worry about quick time, because it don't garbage collect on what you play like media player does. Also check for tool bars on the browser. Just about everything now has junk installing with it. The last is to watch what is scanning in background when playing this content. Between it and buffing the stream might run you out of ram. This one may or nay not help you. Sense jaws has no garbage collection on its self in ram. opening up programs puts scripts in ram.
