    It is because you Have too much stuff in your hard drive and this causes memory disc to be overloaded.Try to delete cookies by going to TOOLS and then internet options,a page will appear where you can delete cookies,this should free up some space.Also you should do defrag once a week.

    Virtual memory is allocated hard drive space that acts as RAM. It can become too low when your hard drive is nearing it's capacity. I'd suggest cleaning out unnecessary files and runing disk defrag.
