Just yesterday we received a 'virtual memory minimun to low' error for the first time. I increased the memory paging file to no avail. Rebooting regularly has not helped though. The computer is eight months old with 1.3GHz / 60GB / 128MB. Thanks!

Since no one else has mentioned it, 128MB is not much memory. If it were my machine, I would at the very least, double that amount. I'm running 384mb of PC133 on my P3@933mhz with Win98se. It seldom, if ever, has to access the swap file. I use Photoshop regularly and am going on 2 years with my current OS installation.

Yeah, 128 is low for memory. I'm running 640 meg on my iMac. Memory is cheap, now. I think Windows maxes out in useability at 640 meg, but the guys who are up on XP can give better info. FWIW, get as much as you can afford, up to the limit. It will speed your machine up a lot. Swap files suck in terms of slowing your machine down.
