virtual memory

A warning virtual memory low keeps popping up when I am working on my
computer. Is there anything I can do to increase the size on my own. The
window says it is increasing it and some programs won't work as they should
while this procedure is being done. Can I increase it by removing some of my
programs. I am not to good at this. Can you help me?

start, control panel, system, advanced, Under performance click settings,
Under visual effects check adjust for best performance, under advanced and
virtual memory click change,
select c: and click on system managed size. then ok out of everything. If a
change was made you'll have to reboot.
If you don't have enough harddrive space for a swap file large enough then
this exercise is a waste of time.
