virtual memory=pagefile. You can turn off the warning if you like but the
first thing I would do in your case is to ensure that the pagefile is set to
"system managed size". go>start\control panel\system\advance tab\performance
- settings button\advanced tab\virtual memory - change button\ then put a
check in "system managed". One of the best ways to limit the use of the
pagefile is to ensure that you have enough RAM. For XP I recommend a minimum
of 512MB. Hope this helps. Post back if it doesn't.

I would also recommend downloading and running either Spybot
(http://security.kolla.de/) or Ad-Aware
(http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) to search your system
for any spyware programs. They can use up a lot of resources.
