Usually, that error has to do with "Virtual Memory" settings, (which can be set to allow windows to do it automatically)
I suggest setting a manual amount larger than three times the space needed for that app.
Go to start/run, and type:
HH %windir%\Help\sysdm.chm::/sysdm_advancd_perform_change_vmpagefile.htm
Another setting is for "what Windows does if the system stops unexpectedly"
Go to start/run, and type:
HH %windir%\Help\sysdm.chm::/sysdm_advancd_startrecover_recovery.htm
