Hi bianca,

Are you trying to run a game or do you have a lot of programs open? Is your C: drive nearly full?

This usually means that you could do with installing a bit more RAM memory.

As a workaround, you could increase the Paging File (Virtual Memory) size on your hard disc.

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
3. On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
4. On the Advanced tab, under Virtual memory, click Change.
5. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change. This will almost certainly be C:
6. Under Paging file size for selected drive, click to select the System managed size check box, and then click Set.
7. Click OK three times.

When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.

You could also try uninstalling dead stuff,free up disk space,then do a defrag of your HD.

That's, as frannys says, means you have low hard disk space
