Initially when I on the pc, its give me the message (bottom right hand
corner) that "VM Minimum too low" Your system is low in memory. Window is
increasing the size of your VM paging file......'} When I check it it was
at(192/384) so i set it to 384/500. Now, not only I cannot click the
properties (of my computer), the initail message still appear on the bottom
right corner. I set the VM as describe in http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php.

so what can I do to get my pc going? Pls help, thanks

May be I should correct myself now, I restart the pc a couple of times and
now I dont get the Rundll32 error and can access the system properties and to
to VM. However, the initial message is still appearing at the bottom of the
right hand corner,. I suppose I have to do the 'trial and error' to get it
right?
