What is this error about?

I have this too when CPU mining.

Just ignore that, only warnings; you may get more speed if you enable locked pages.

I tried but it still reports this error.
This is what i have tried :

On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.
On the Local Group Policy Editor console, expand Computer Configuration, and then expand Windows Settings.
Expand Security Settings, and then expand Local Policies.
Select the User Rights Assignment folder.
The policies will be displayed in the details pane.
In the pane, double-click Lock pages in memory.
In the Local Security Setting – Lock pages in memory dialog box, click Add User or Group.
In the Select Users, Service Accounts, or Groups dialog box, add an account with privileges
Log out and then log back in for this change to take effect.

I have added user administrator here, as i already had account everybody.
Still not working.


Enabling of locked pages is somehow tricky. I had to add admininstrators + own account, then make REBOOT. After that, I had to run miner with administrator priveleges, then locked pages were able to be allocated. When you are successful with that, you will notice that eqm.exe is using very little memory (because locked pages are not visible in taskmgr).
