Virtual memory is that part of your harddrive used for extra ram.
how big is you drive and how much free space is on it .go to mycomputer to find out

How much memory did you dedicate in the VM setup? Remember that total memory here is :
Total PC memory = memory used by OS + memory used by the VM.
Make sure you are not over that formula.

Ok I have checked on task manager and it seems like my Firefox is taking up the most space or memory.
memory leaks are an issue with some versions. Upgrade your FF.
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
