    Maybe a little more information on your computer might help. Like WHat OS? How much Ram? And what kind of computer? The more info you give, the more help can be given.

    abccbrooks,

    When your pc runs out of memory, it caches memory onto your harddrive (MUCH! slower than when it's running in RAM). If your page file is too small, you get this warning.

    It could also mean there's trouble 'hiding' on your pc; like malware, or a trojan. I'd start scanning for these immediately.

    Let's look here first:

    "Start | (right-click) My Computer | Properties | Advanced | Performance/Settings | Advanced | Virtual memory/...". What is the current size of the page file?

    "Total paging file size for all drives:

    Let's see if this can be increased.

    Mike.
