Right click on my computer, select properties, advanced, performance settings, advanced, virtual memory, change. Look at the bottom of that window and it will read minimum allowed, recommended, currently allocated. You can select custom and set to what is recommended or system managed size. Hope this helps.

Look for the System managed size option, select it if it isn't already selected, and then click OK, OK, OK. That should end the warnings.

Step by step, easier method:
Click Start, then open the Control Panel.
Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under Performance, click Settings.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under Virtual memory, click Change.
Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file (virtual memory) settings that you want to change. In almost every case, this will be your C: drive.
Click to select the "System managed size" option, then click Set.
Click OK three times and restart your computer.
