Try doing a disk cleanup. Go to My Computer and then Right click on the C drive. On the menu that pops up click on Properties. From there click on a button that says Disc cleanup. Once you do that it will say that it's calculating how much memory you'll be able to save.Then it should take you to another box that categorizes how much of the total memory you can save in different areas. Check all of them and click Ok.
Another Very good option is buying Webroot's Window Washer. It deletes all the junk in your computer you don't need. Or downloading a free Trial of the program which is also very good. Go to the website and click on Window Washer from the Products menu where it says Home & Office. Once you click on it go to downloads and from there on the bottom of the page you will find the Window Washer free trial download. Download and install it and run it on your computer to free up space.
Hope that helps!!!

If a computer running Windows requires more memory/RAM then there is installed in the system to run a program, etc, it uses a small section of the hard drive for this purpose. This is called “Virtual” memory, or “Swap Filling”. If the “Swap” file is to small, then you will get a warning that the system can’t perform the operation that you have requested because sufficient “Virtual” memory isn’t available.
You need to enlarge the size of your “virtual memory/swap file”. So, do the following.
Right click “My Computer” and choose “Properties”.
In the “System Properties” window, click the “Advanced” tab.
Under “Performance”, click “Settings”.
In the “Performance Options” window, click “Advanced”.
Under “Virtual memory”, click “Change”.
Increase the size of the “Paging file” so that it is at least twice the size of your RAM. You can increase the size to “Maximum”, it won’t hurt your system at all.
Best cure.
If you really want to eliminate this problem, all you need do is to install more “Memory/RAM”.
