A few weeks ago I posted in here asking for a solution to my CD/DVD driver problem. They were completely wiped out, I even went as far as taking apart my tower to see if a solution posted in here would help. I finally decided to order A recovery disk for the drivers and yesterday when they arrived I decided to install the recovery disks.


This was a bad idea because not only did ut return my pc back to its factory settings, it also made all my files and previous third part programs go bye bye too. So after I got over the fact that my files were never to be recovered (believe me I learned my lesson) I went about and reinstalled all my third party programs that I had on their respective disks.


A bit tedius but nothing too bad then I began to notice things like alerts tell me that I was low on virtual memory when I had 1,000th less files in my pc. This was when I was only with just my programs and a clean slate of folder files.


So whats going on? I dont understand why I would be running on low virtual memory when I have much much much less room being occupied with what I have in my pc now. Can someone give me possible answers to this problem? And if its fixable please dont hesitate in telling me how to go about doing so.


Also, this might be a stupid question, is there even a slight possibility that the files I had in my pc before the Recovery thing I did, could still be on my pc somewhere where I wouldnt know? I mean, can that be a possible reason as to why my memory is so low? Because its storing the stuff that I had previously somewhere?


Its a slim chance but I figured Id ask, my weekend cant get any worse than it already is.


Thanks in advance for any or all answers/solutions to my problem, youre help is very much appreciated.
