Increase the amount of virtual memory (also known as swap file) on your
computer. Rt-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Performance
Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory > Change.

Hi,

Do you have Intel Application Accelerator installed? If so, you need to
uninstall it and install the latest version. The older ones are incompatible
with WinXP and can cause this error message.

If not, then try this: Go to System properties/advanced/performance
settings/advanced tab/virtual memory change and disable the swap file.
Reboot. Delete all instances of pagefile.sys from all drives should any
exist, then reverse the original steps and reenable the swap file. Reboot
once more to finish. See if this helps,

The best thing a gamer can do for this problem is to get more physical
memory. If you have less than 1 GB of memory, you won't be able to play
certain games without increasing the virtual memory, which is a slower form
of memory.

Are you running out of hard disk space?

Have you played around with virtual memory settings?

Go to control panel, double click on the system icon, click on the advanced
tab at the top, click on the button under performance, click on the advanced
tab again, then click on the change button at the bottom. Select system
managed size and click on the set button.

Select system managed size and click on the set button.
In addition, the message usually means that the pagefile is too small.

Often, people who's pcs are low on space on drive C: have this problem.
You want at least 10 gig free at all times on C:
