    Vertual memory depends on System drive's free space also. check it and confirm.

    If you have free Hard disk space you can increase your Virtual Memory for each drive (any partitioned drive as well).

    Try to increase the Max size 1500 MB to 3000 MB & set the initial to 2000 MB. Check if problem still persist. Also try to clean your internet temp files & cookies.

    The best bet here is to go to start - run - msconfig ( May not work at times On Vista Systems) and uncheck unwanted items at startup. Also Start - Run - Prefetch and deleting files in Prefetch folder.

    One thing as suggested above is to increase the virtual memory for drives which will solve the problem.

    Dude, This is a very common issue with windows machine. I have the tried and tested solution for the same. After applying this your machine will never ask for virtual memory. First and foremost, Bring back your virtual memory allocation back to normal, as it was before.

    Reason being , after implementing this solution, your machine would never run out of PRIMARY AVAILABLE memory.

    Download a software called RAM BOOSTER. Install it and keep it running. This is a very very small in size software , which when executes in background KEEPs CLEANING or refreshing or say in very simple terms DELETING NO MORE REQUIRED memory chunks from the RAM ALLOCATIONS.

    So, your machine will always have FREE available PRIMARY MEMORY and it will never ask for virtual memory allocation. BINGO!
