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

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)

i never have anything else running and i have 48.3GB.

that's most likely the space left on your hard drive.

the circled number is the one I'm asking about

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
