I hope you are having Windows XP installed in your coputer. Follow the following steps to increase the virtual memory of your system :

1. Go to Control Panel & double click on System.

2. Navigate to Advanced Tab & click on the Settings in the Performance section.

3. The Performance Options dialog box now opens. Navigate to Advanced tab here. You can now view the Virtual Memory setting as shown below.

4. Click on Change. Choose a drive with some free space & Select the Custom Size: radio button.

5. Enter the Initial Size: & Maximum size:, same values in both the boxes. An amount two times your RAM size is the ideal value.

6.Click Set & Press ok to exit. Restart your computer for the change to take effect.

Hope this helps..
