Generally means you are running applications that require more RAM than you have available per your settings. Here's your solution:

Usually if you google the error text or main words in the error message you can find your solution.

If you are on Windows (gonna guess XP if your computer is recent) --
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel
Then click on Administrative Tools -> Computer Management
Under "storage" in the left side file structure, click on Disk Defragmenter. Run the Analyzer first - this will tell u if you should defrag or not. If yes, then run the defrag - let it run over nite because its a slow process. It just tries to more efficiently align blocks of files to more be more contiguous instead of spread out all over your harddrive. Its good to do it every 6 months or so just for maintenance purposes.

You had me until you said defrag. It ONLY matters if the files it's trying to use are horribly fragmented or you have so little disk space available you can't defrag until you delete some files anyway. I worked in 2 tech support call centers and if I had a dollar for every call that started with 'The last tech had me defrag my hard drive and my shit's still broke' I could retire.

This may be more accurate. That message can come up when you have too little disk space to handle what was allocated for swap as well. How much physical ram do you have? Do you have a Suite like Norton SystemWorks installed?(If so, uninstall that shit first and reinstall Virus Prot ONLY)
What Windows OS you using?
If you are on Windows XP with more than 256 MB RAM, either close open apps or make sure your shit is virus free. If you do not have Virus protection, try Housecall
Good luck bro.

I had a former roommate defrag my computer to death.
He said 'All I did was defrag it' to which I asked how many times.....he sheepishly responded 'I don't know'. If you defrag so much in 1 weekend you can't remember how many times you've done it, you've done it too much.
Thankfully it only broke a windows file and didn't kill the drive. I actually still have that old 13G drive I bought in 1996. In the 8 years since he last defragged it that weekend, it hasn't been defragged once.
