So you post as "jw" but sign as "Duke"? Should be the same moniker.
Plus you should've be divulged your true e-mail address to the spambots
that roam newsgroups to harvest e-mail addresses.

Duke is aka John Wayne with initials JW. Eldorado was one of his
movies of course.

The moniker with which you post shouldn't be different than the one with
which you sign (but then you are duplicating info that readers already
see in the From header so a signature name is redundant and fluff).

Correction: I should've said "you should NOT divulge your true e-mail
address".

By not munging your e-mail address or not specifying one at all (or an
invalid one), you are abusing the owner of the eldorado.com domain. Did
you actually register eldorado.com for yourself? Are you the owner of
EDV Management Company which is the registrant of eldorado.com? You can
divulge your own e-mail address, munge one and use that (but the munged
value should not specify a legitimate e-mail address), or specify one
that is invalid (e.g., use the .invalid TLD) or one that can never be
defined. See my e-mail address in the From header of my post where the
..lh TLD is not yet defined - see http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/
(if it gets defined then I'll have to change my posted e-mail address,
like using .invalid). Either your e-mail address should point at one
that belongs to you or not to any possible e-mail address (which means
it doesn't point at someone else's possible legitimate e-mail address).

If you were EDV Mgmt operating a mail server and were the employee using
"jw" there as a username, would you appreciate someone focusing the
spambots harvesting e-mail addresses from Usenet to slam your mailbox?
If you don't want to divulge your own e-mail address, don't point to one
that might belong to someone else.

If you mean you are seeing an informative message like this:

Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low: Your system is low on virtual memory.
Windows is increasing the size
of your virtual memory paging file.

That means Windows XP is letting you know it is doing it's job. The
message is not an error message -
it is an informational message.

If XP thinks the size of the paging file (usually c:\pagefile.sys) is
too small to accommodate
your current operations it will adjust it to make it larger and
display that message.

Most of the time it means somebody has been tampering with the paging
file to try to solve some
other problem that usually has nothing to do with their paging file.

To see what your current settings are, right click My Computer,
Properties, Advanced,
Performance Settings, Advanced tab, Virtual Memory, Change button.

Unless you know more about managing memory that Windows XP, you should
let XP handle the size
of your virtual memory paging file.

The best setting for Paging file size is usually going to be:

System managed size

Windows XP will try to allocate a paging file approximately 1.5 times
the total amount
of the RAM installed in your system. Letting Windows XP handle the
paging file size
is adequate for most configurations

If yours is not set to System managed size you need to determine how
it got changed and why (usually some
wrong reason), make a note of the current settings, change the setting
to System managed size, click the
Set button and Apply the changes (you will be asked to reboot).

"Because somebody told me to" is not a good reason to make adjustments
to the paging file size.

After making the adjustments, reboot, then check the paging file
settings again to make sure they stick,
then test your system again and see if you still get the messages.

If you are still seeing the message, you should determine what
applications you are running
that are consuming so much of your virtual memory that Windows XP
needs to adjust it.

Some applications are notorious for consuming large amounts of virtual
memory (like the Spybot
Teatimer - do you have that installed?).

You can determine how applications are using your virtual memory using
Task Manager.

To do that:

Right click the Taskbar, choose Task Manager and select the Processes
tab.

Click View, Select Columns, check the box that says: Virtual Memory
Size. Expand the height and
width of the Task Manager by dragging the corners and edges so you can
see all the columns and
processes in one window if possible.

Double click a column heading in TM to sort by the column. For
example, sort Task Manager by the CPU or
Virtual Memory size column.

Who's on top using all the Virtual Memory?

If you need another set of eyeballs on your settings, describe the top
5 applications you see in
Task Manager that are using the most virtual memory and, do this:

Click Start, Run and in the box enter:

msinfo32

Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select
All, Copy and then paste
the results back here.

There will be some personal information (like System Name and User
Name), and whatever appears to
be private information to you, just delete the personal information
from the pasted information.

This will minimize back and forth Q&A and eliminate guesswork and
assumptions.
