Hi. As of late, I've been getting low memory errors whenever I run games. It gets to the point where memory faults eventually crash the game if I don't get a low memory error. The specs of my pc are in my sig. I've never had this happen before,and I can't think of anything I've done,installed recently that would cause this. I have checked for viruses and came up empty. I've also disabled the search indexing service. Vista does detect the 2gb I have. Here's a screencap of the most recent warnings,I have tried not running steam alongside other games, but that did not help.

I will try that,I have not gotten around to it. I am curios as to how this could be a symptom of bad ram,I always thought bad ram would cause a hard crash in which the pc would bsod or reboot.
 
Have you changed your swap file settings from "Let Windows Manage The Swap File?"
 
Looks like my ram bought it..everything at stock and I still get errors plus memtest shows errors. Memtest showed the errors at higher addresses, so maybe that's why I only notice it in games. I should be able to rma it still. Thanks for your help.
