is this anything to worry about i turned on my computer monitor after i left it on all night i probably wouldn't think anything of this if this poped up on my desktop but it poped up here on my computer were you enter your  windows account the only 3 programs running in the background when i stopped using it for the night was windows media player internet explorer and a photo resizer none had anything running

it sas your system is low on virtual memory. windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file during this process memory requests for som applications may be denied for mor information see help

If you weren't doing anything, a background process consumed all your RAM, this points to malware, to me.

the number if times I've EVER seen it I could count on my hand- and I ran XP with 96MB of RAM.

876543219, next time you get this message, check task manager->processes tab, and see what is consuming the most memory.

I have only dealt with that message in two scenarios: McAfee software causing conflicts...and infections.  I've never managed to have enough programs running to cause this error.  I'm not saying that it's an infection, but it's a possibility.  Even if it's not, there's still an issue somewhere.  I would suggest following BC's advice.
