Windows usually set "virtual" memory by default or you can change it if you want. Since memory RAM is so cheap, it is better to buy more RAM and not worried about the window virtual setting.

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”.
