Well, there could be a ton of reasons why your virtual memory is low. But a commonly; you have too many programs running, your page file is too small, or you have too much stuff on your computer.

To check if you have too much stuff running, hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click on the "processes" tab. If Any of those processes are above 10-20 percent (Excluding System Idle Process) while you're not doing anything, it's probably taking up too much hardware memory. See if you can close that process without doing too much damage to your p.c.

If all your processes seem normal, open up Control Panel and open System, click on the "advanced" tab, and under the Performance heading, click Settings. The "performance options" window should pop up. Click on the "advanced" tab, and under the Virtual Memory heading click "change".

If you only have one hard drive then you'll only see "C:" Click the "Custom size" button and fill in; initial size = 1024, and maximum size = 1024. If that doesn't work or it doesn't help, you just have too much junk on your computer =/. Consider deleting some movies, pictures, or songs and trying again.
