Virtual Memory minimum too low. What does this mean?How can I fix it.?

For the last couple of days this has been happening how can I stop it from doing this. Do I need to get more Ram, and will this solve the problem?

Update:

Fred I did what you wrote, now we shall see what happens. You know the saying 'So Far So Good'

    Ignore Fred. Your problem lies in your virtual memory settings. A program might have altered these, or you may be low on available hard disk space.

    To check your vitural memory settings in windows XP (Similar in other versions):

    Start> Control Panel> System> Advanced Tab> Settings button under 'Performance'> Advanced Tab> Change button under 'Virtual Memory'>

    The best thing to do is set "System Managed Size" on all drives. If this is already set, make sure you have at least 1GB free hard disk space.

    Yes, adding more RAM can help. Increasing the virtual memory can too.

    Hahaha. you must be using a piece of crap. It says that because it is running under Real Mode. 32-bit protected mode computers don't usually show that message. So change your computer.
