Your original message also quoted quite a few problems with 
memory-related issues, which are all explained in the FAQ in chapter 15.  
I assumed that you haven't read the FAQ because otherwise those issues 
would have been clear to you.

As to disabling virtual memory, you probably didn't look for this in the
index, because it has this entry (with a link pointing to one of the
sections): 

	Disabling virtual memory for CWSDPMI

You should also see the sections in the FAQ that explain how to lock 
memory region (again, look in the index for "locking memory"), since it 
seems to me that this technique might be more appropriate for what you 
are trying to accomplish.

In general, you should always search the indices at the end of the FAQ, 
especially if your problem isn't solved by the chapter/section which you 
find through the table of contents.  The FAQ is extensively indexed to 
enable easy access to its wealth of info, since it is so large.  If you 
ever find an issue that cannot be found by using the index (which means 
its indexing needs to be improved), please tell me.
