Er, how old is your computer? If its really old, you may want to try;

you could also try closing any other programs that may be running.

you don't need to increase virtual memory unless you're running out of physical memory (ram) and even then...you don't want to resort to using virtual memory.

out of curiosity, how much memory do you have?
(right click my computer, select properties. look for XXX MB of ram. it'l say GB instead of MB if you have over 1000MB of ram)

that's a bit on the low side.

in the future you may want to consider getting more ram
for the meantime, in that same properties window, click on the advanced tab
click the first settings button
click the advanced tab, click change, and increase the two numbers (initial and max) then click set.

this increases the virtual memory and should allow you to do a little more (I don't guarantee that you'll be able to do a complete save)
the best way around this is to get more ram

A: you buy more ram and pay a professional (like Geek Squad at best buy) a ridiculous ammount of money to install it...or you can buy it and install it yourself.

B: what is it set to now?

try initial 512
max 1024

if your computer is only a few years old then it probably uses DDR memory.
I'm not sure what speed your current memory is, but if you don't know/don't feel comfortable with ripping your computer open and replacing delicate parts then you should probably bring it in to be done by a professional.

you should probably shop around and get quotes. I can't say how much the installation would cost...or the memory, I don't have enough information to tell you that (and I don't have time to find out right now)
