"Virtual Memory Too Low" message |

Q: Why does Windows XP report "Virtual Memory Too Low" when I start Campground Master?
A.: Campground Master loads the complete database into RAM memory, so this requires a lot of memory very quickly. This can cause Windows to temporarily "push out" some other applications you might have currently loaded into "virtual" memory (a file on your hard disk). We believe that the sudden increase in the memory requirements makes Windows believe that it will need more space on the hard disk, so it wants to make the virtual memory file bigger.
This is not really a problem and shouldn't affect the operation, though it may be an indication that you need more RAM to handle things efficiently. You may also be able to eliminate this message by specifying a larger fixed size for the paging file through the System settings -- however this is a job for your system administrator and could cause problems if done incorrectly, so we don't want to give details here.
