To get rid of the problem, you must work through the following instructions carefully:

Arbeitsspeicher voll ausnutzen – in 3 einfachen Schritten

1. Click on Start and tap under Execute the command System.ini in.

2. Now scroll down with the scroll bar until the entry [VCACHE] becomes visible. Click directly behind it so that the bookmark jumps there and press Enter once. You are now directly below it.

                       

3. Now write the line MaxFileCache=524288 without the quotation marks. Save and close the file. The error is corrected after a restart.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (back then this is what Sandro looked like). He then went on to write elsewhere, such as for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again.
