A user complains that her computer pops up a display window stating that the virtual memory is low. Which of these measures can be taken to ensure that the error message stops popping up?
  1. Increase free space in the partition used for virtual memory.
  2. Install a higher capacity hard disk.
  3. Increase the amount of RAM in the computer.
  4. Remove unnecessary files and software from the computer.
Explanation
Answer: C - 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.
