It means that you have a small amount of ram and your pagefile (swap file / virtual memory) is getting full. This can be fixed depending on how big your HDD is and what operating system your running. Let us know these two things and we can help.

Follow this and set your maximum to 1000mb.

did it work?

type msconfig in the run box and uncheck all of those apps, that are running in the background except your antivirus and email program

and go to display properties and change the xp theme to windows classic. change the appearance to classics too. then put whatever picture you want as desktop background. this will free unnecessary used ram.
