SiMoNsAyS Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 i'm nearly finishing my first and complete super power cd ( ) yesterday i was testing my installation solving some apps installation problems and in that process (running programs.cmd from cmdlines.txt) a new advertising window appeared "windows is incressing the virtual memory, during this operation you probably..." (note that i've got a different language and i can't translate exactly what it said but was something like that). there weren't any problem after i clicked ok, anyway it's funny "incressing the VM while installing " anyone have had the same issue?
visaversa Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I used to have the same message, i said i used sinds my last sp1 ucd i don't have that message anymore, strangeProbably a setting in one of the regfiles i changed, something with the pagefile and thingies.if you wait long enough the message disapear doh and it does nothing to your unattended.question: do you use XPLODE in your unattended?
big_gie Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I'm having the same message since 2 days too... But only inside VMWare. It is set to 256 Mb RAM (I have 512). It happened in RunOnceEx with XPlode installing some hotfixes...
SiMoNsAyS Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 the questions it's that i hadn't touched any VM setting and i don't use XPlode, funny anyway
prathapml Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 That's a fairly normal occurrence.That balloon alerts you when the Virtual Memory is being sized to more than the size you specified. If you try checking in the SysProps, it still says what you had set it to - but your "pagefile.sys" has grown. When windows has used up all the V-Mem you had allotted, it automatically re-sizes itself, and throws up a balloon, notifying you of the same. This normally happens to me when I start an especially strainful game (Unreal II), or a big memory-hogging app (when 3D Studio Max starts to render).
SiMoNsAyS Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 @prathapml i know it, my question it's why? because i have done exactly the same as always. i've only changed some apps switches and some regtweaks but none of them in relation with windows VM. i'll try to repeat the installation and see what happens this time
big_gie Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Same thing here... Maybe something with VMware?
visaversa Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 like a said before...i had it, it disapeared after an other build. despite i still use XPLode amd VMWare so there is no real connection besides xplode. but then again SiMoNsAyS don't use it.
prathapml Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 @prathapml i know it, my question is why?ummmm..... 'coz it needs more memory at that point of time? What you could do to find out the "why" is to have the task manager running, so you can see which app/process is eating up memory.1. During any point of setup, you can press the key-combination "Shift+F10" to bring up the command prompt (for de-bugging).2. Now do so, and type "taskmgr" to get the task manager run.3. Find out what install, and when exactly the extra memory is being consumed, thru [Task Manager >> Processes >> Mem Usage].
SiMoNsAyS Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 @visaversa true, i do not use XPlode, SP2, no tweaks with VM, not using VMware... lol@prathapml thanks i'll try it on next test-installation
