Configure your PC so that Windows automatically manages the virtual memory.

Step 2: Run virus and spyware checkers
Run antivirus and antispyware programs.

Eliminate any nonessential programs on your computer.

Step 4: Check Windows Task Manager
Check the Windows Task Manager to see how much memory the programs on your computer are using.
