<pre wrap="">I have Nokia 770 with OS 2006 on it. I've been trying to
extend my memory card to be used as additional virtual memory.
I used Control
panel->Memory->Virtual (tag). When I choose either of sizes offered
(from 8 MB to 32 MB in my case) and press 'OK' it displays an
error window 'Unable to create virtual memory'. What might be
wrong here? And also, what this built-in option actually does?

It resizes or creates a file ".swap" on the memory card. Could be you
have a ".swap" there already, created as a root and then it can't touch
it.

<tt>I checked the /media/mmc1 directory and I do not have a .swap
file there. The problem is still unresolved.<br>

I think I found the root of my problem. It is my memory card which
somehow does not have write access to it. It says ' Read-only file
system' whenever I try to write any file to it. So, definitely it is
not able to create a swap file there and extend virtual memory. Now I
am wondering if formatting the card would solve the issue.<br>
<br>
I have another tablet and creating a swap file there was successful.
So, I did not add a bug to bugzilla because the problem is not related
to the device itself.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Andrey<br>
