Your system is low on virtual memory. Window is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. During this process memory requests for some application may be denied.
Important PC description:

I assume that you are running Windows 2000 or XP.
If so, you will see a real benefit from increasing your RAM.
I consider 256MB the minimum for either OS, and usually MAX out the installable RAM on the system.
(within cost reason, 1GB DIMMs are still too expensive)
Next, consider setting up a fixed size virtual memory (swap) file.
I am a bit more aggressive than some others here.
I recommend that virtual memory be the larger of 2X installed RAM, or the difference between 1GB and installed RAM.
For your system as configured, I would set / allow Virtual memory to 872MB.
You access the virtual memory settings from either:
Control Panel / System Properties
Or, right click on My Computer and select properties.
For XP, the click sequence is:
Advanced tab,
Performance settings,
Advanced
Virtual memory

I already thought of that but my concern is that if i increase my virtual memory it would bring a conflict with the OS.
Have you tried this before? as well as with Subtracting your physical ram from 1GB?
Need your reply to this matter, becausedisaster is just around if we try things that were not tested yet.
