Macintosh Manager: How to Enable or Disable Virtual Memory

Symptom

• Some applications work better with Virtual Memory enabled, and others work better with it disabled.
  
• Macintosh Manager does not allow user access to the Memory control panel to change these settings.

Solution

If you want users to have a choice between Virtual Memory or no Virtual Memory, follow these steps:

1. Enable Virtual Memory at the client computer. The default state of the computer will be that Virtual Memory is on when the computer starts up.

2. When a user needs Virtual Memory to be disabled, restart the computer while pressing the Command key. This temporarily disables Virtual Memory until the next time the computer is restarted.
