This error appears and tells you that your virtual memory is too low.

 

Virtual memory, also known as page file or swap file, is a file on your hard disk that Windows uses in addition to physical memory (RAM) whenever the need arises. For example, when you are running an application or a process your RAM can’t handle, virtual memory is there to help. Usually the page file is 1.5 times the amount of physical memory, i.e. a system with 512 MB of RAM will have 768 MB page file.

You can increase the size of the page file. Here’s how to do it:

Right-click on My Computer and go to Properties.

Click on the Advanced tab (or Advanced system settings link if you are using Windows 7 or Vista) and then click on the Settings button in the Performance section.

A new window will open. Go to the Advanced tab.

Find the Virtual memory section and click on the Change button.

Select the System managed size option or manually change the size of the page file.

Click OK
