How do I clear out my virtual memory on my laptop? - I've been trying to clear out my virtual memory for a long time. Ive tried everything i could think of. Ive defragmented my disks except my d drive. i cant figure out how to defragment that disk because it has less than 15%. i have cleaned my disks, deleted temp files, i have removed programs i don't use but it doesnt work. Can anyone help?
Best Answer: your virtual memory is not your data. you clear it out by removing programs that run background processes. this software seems to do the job http://startupmanager.org/ -
buy a better laptop or restart the computer every time it gets slow - Joppie
reboot is the closest to clearing out virtual memory. Instead, look into how much RAM your laptop can handle. http://www.crucial.com - Lucy Girl
