What is the actual message? Open the Event Viewer and look under System.

Event ID & the Event Source are very important.

To open the Event Viewer...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | OK

For any Events that seem related to the problem...

Double click the event in Event Viewer | Click: the button below the second
arrow (looks like two pages) [[Copies the details of the event to the
Clipboard.]] | Paste into Notepad | Click:

In the mean time try this..

Check to see if it's set to System managed size.

To change the size of the virtual memory paging file
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators
group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to
a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this
procedure.

1. To open System, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and
then double-click System.

2. On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.

3. On the Advanced tab, under Virtual memory, click Change.

4. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging
file you want to change.

5. To have Windows choose the best paging file size, click System managed
size.
