Step 1: Configure your PC to manage virtual memory
Configure your PC so that Windows automatically manages the virtual memory.

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

Step 3: Eliminate unnecessary 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.

Tip
Reinstall any applications that appear to be using more than their share of virtual memory.

Step 5: Add RAM
Add additional real physical memory (RAM) to your computer if all else fails. Now, enjoy the new speed on your machine.

Did You Know?
The word virtue comes from the Latin word for excellence or merit.
