Error Message:

Your system is low on virtual memory.
Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file


This error message is normal when the PC has the virtual memory set to a custom size that is too small and the amount of memory being requested by software programs exceeds that amount. This happens more often when scanning in large pictures in high resolutions, working with video files, or working with very large digital photograph files.

How to modify your Virtual Memory settings In Windows XP.

Set the virtual memory setting as follows:

1.
Click Start , then Control Panel .
2. Double-click the System icon and then click the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Settings button under Performance option.
4. Click the Advanced tab, and then click the Change button under Virtual Memory .
5. Select System Managed Size if it is not already selected. (This setting is preferred)

(Optionally, you can adjust this setting manually by selecting Custom, entering numbers into the two fields under Custom, and then click the Set button: In the first field, the number entered should be twice the amount of system memory (RAM in Mb's). In the second field, the number entered should be four times the amount of system memory (RAM in Mb's))

6. Click OK and restart the PC.

Error Message:

Non-system disk or disk error. Replace and press any key when ready

This happens when the computer can't read the information on a floppy disk or the PC's hard disk. You may have left a floppy disk in the drive by accident or a memory card from your digital camera may still be connected to your computer.  Check to see and remove any CD's, memory cards or floppy disks and then press any key which then should solve the problem. If not, there may be a problem with the hard disk. Try pressing any key, restarting the computer, or switching it off for a few minutes before starting up again.

If this suggestion doesn't work, you may have a serious hard disk problem and you'll need to contact us.
