winlogon.exe has huge VM size ?

I've noticed that all my Windows XP x64 PCs have a huge VM
size in Task Manager, I think it's only since the last MS patch day. Also
the machines are popping up dialog boxes saying Windows is running short of
virtual memory and has increased the page file size.

On a Windows XP x64 PC with 2GB RAM winlogon.exe has a VM size of
3,131,208K

Anyone else noticed anything like this?

Thanks

I have two GB of ram as well, and in task manager, winlogon.exe shows 3,544
KB, which would be 3.5 mb, right?

Sorted it out now, if anyone else ever comes across this issue.

Had to delete the user profile and let the PC build a new one. Must have got
corrupted somehow.
