take in account that you may have a program (running in the background) stealing ur virtual memory like a virus, keylogger or a trojan.
if u suspect one of these:
open task manager(ctrl+alt+del) move to the processes tab to know which programs are using a big mem

You are getting this error because either your virtual memory is full or it is setup for very low space. You can solve this problem by following the steps given below

Right click on my computer and select properties. It will open system properties for you. Click Advanced tab. Now click settings button under performance option. It will open another window, click advanced tab in this window and in the lower corner you will be seeing virtual memory and total paging file size for all drives. Click change and now it is up to you, if you have a large hard drive select any partition and select custom size if it is not already selected. Type 500 or 600 MB in initial size and 1200 or 1500 Mb in maximum size. Click set. Click Ok. Click Apply and then Ok and then click Ok again. Please restart your computer and you will not get low virtual memory error again.

Go to your Control panel and choose 'Computer Management'. Once the window opens choose the 'Advanced' tab and then click on the settings button that is in the performance section.

Another window will open. In this new window choose the 'Advanced' tab. At the bottom of this tab you will see a virtual memory section. Click on change.

Enter a custom size for your virtual memory that is roughly 1.5 times the amount of ram you have.

E.g if you have 512Mb then enter Initial size and maximum size as around 800. If you got 1gig ram then enter these values as 1500 ... etc
