Annoying Virtual Memory!!!

[The_Thing]

I have a slightly aged computer I built. Asus A7V333 motherboard, Geforce 4 Ti 4400 on a gainward board, 256 MB of PC 2100 DDR wit slower 2.5 CAS (Crucial), Segate Baracuda III ATA100 Hard Drive, 20 Gig. I run windows XP Pro Corperate Edition. I have all the the updates. Sometimes when I'm playing a game, windows will say Virtual Memory too Low. It increses the size and then my games start running slow. If I set it to a custom size, them my games start to get glitchy. Games are (Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries, Aliens Vs. Predator 2, Commanche 4). Does anybody know if there is a setting I can change to increse the virtual memory so it doesn't try to enlarge it all the time???

I have this problem after installing service pack 1. After removing it, it goes back to normal...

I wonder why do pippel insatoll all that bull if they don't really need it? Leave it without SP1 (2..3..4...) if you don't need nothing from them.

I had trouble with 2k-SP3 on my laptop (dial up quit working), so I left it on CD for good and staid with SP2 forevva.. go figure what those SPs bring.

what file system are you using? how much hd space you have empty? what disk utility you are using? stuff like that.
