Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To ensure that the virtual memory pop-up stops appearing, increase the amount of RAM on the computer.
Key Takeaway: All of these steps imply an increase in the primary storage or secondary storage space on the computer. A computer uses a portion of the hard drive as virtual memory when it does not find sufficient memory to run programs. Two ways to ensure that this error disappears are to increase primary storage (or RAM) and increase secondary storage with higher capacity or more free space.
