Go to
Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Advanced (tab) -> At performance click Options -> Advanced (tab) -> Virtual Memory click change. Make sure C: drive is highlighted, then choose custom, and change the first value to 1500 and the second to 1550.

Also, do you mind posting any currently running processes -from task manager- that have a memory usage above 40mb?

Microsoft Help and Support
See "How to manually change the size of the virtual memory paging file". This is the same procedure, only change it to the values 1500 and 1550.
