    Kind of. Virtual memory is basically using your hard-drive space when your regular memory is being used up. I would first ensure your hard-drive is not full, and then up the allowed amount of virtual memory Window can use by right-clicking "My Computer" and selecting "Properties." From there, select the "Advanced" tab and then click "Settings" under the "Performance" section. From there select the "Advanced" tab (again) and hit the "Change" button under "Virtual Memory." Select "System Managed size" and reboot. If that was already set, simply select "custom size" and enter 1.5x the amount of RAM you have for both initial and maximum size. (2GB of ram would be 3500MB, etc...) Reboot. Hope that helps.
