I get this message sometimes when I run my program: System is low onOthers have already given some hints on how to improve your program in order to avoid this message.
virtual memory....
If it is just a rare state it may well be worth just to increase the systems virtual memory. This can be done by inserting some extra RAM (always a good idea, but with some costs) or by changing some settings. These however depend on the machine architecture (a PC, WS, Mac or whatever) and on the OS (Win, linux, OS X etc.). Changing the virtual memory settings does not take no extra costs and uses just a little time.
Windows nowadays has a default setting 'let windows handle this'. Allthough this is foolproof in most situations, it has some drawbacks. One of the major culprits is that AFAIK Windows will just use free space on drive C:. If this free space is limited, Win has to limit the virtual memory.
So it is not the worst idea to do a system backup, clean the harddisk and defrag it afterwards. And if one later adds a fixed area as swap file on this or another HD, this swap file size is than fixed and cannot be limited by temporary files an garbage.
If you are interested in some more specific hints please provide some more info on your system and/or google for your system and 'virtual memory settings'.
