Yes, this is a problem. The paging file needs to expand and when there is no room to do it, it won't work correctly. You need to limit the virtual memory it uses by making a static paging file on your limited disk. 512 MB should be plenty of RAM andtrying to let the program decide how much swap space to use is not needed. Making a static paging (swap) file will reserve the space as well as limit it. Hope this helps.
