Hi,
I'm having a problem with a game I play. After a certain amount of time, I get crash and a pop-up warning "VirtualAlloc (at place 2) returned NULL!"
I've found someone's solution to it but it's not 100% clear (to me at least) ... and before changing anything more, I would like to know what folks in the "know" think of it and perhaps get directed to making the correct changes, because what I changed so far hasn't worked.
At the very bottom I've attached the link/screenshot of the part of my computer I am in.
Below here in Bold and Italics is the person's solution to the problem, taken from another site.
"I had the same problem: "" VirtualAlloc (at place 2) returned NULL! "
It wasn't easy, it really took me an afternoon but I discovered the meaning and how to fix it. I am using Google Translate, I hope it is understood. I bother to sign up to help whoever has this same error:
- VirtualAlloc: refers to virtual memory, before windows 10 it was called a paging file.
- (at place 2): It refers to the problem is on a second hard drive, it would put (at place 1) if the problem was on drive C:
The solution is very simple, you must go to "PC settings", then "system", on the right of the window choose "about" and then on the left of the window choose "advanced system settings".
Well, in the open window called "system properties", go to the "advanced options" tab. In performance, click on the "configuration" button, choose the "advanced options" tab and in virtual memory click on the "change" button. So we finally get to the window where we can click for Windows 10 to automatically assign virtual memory to all drives, or manually assign to that second disk (in this case) the virtual memory that we want.
In my case, I assigned a fixed amount manually, but the simplest and most uncomplicated thing is to let Windows 10 do the job. I hope it is understood and that this helps others with the same problem."
