If you've set your virt mem setting instead of letting windows do it, it's set to low.

I think it's supposed to be 1.5x the size of ram installed if my memory serves me right

here is a article on M$'s web site on how to fix it

Does this happen every time you play the game?

Does it only happen after your PC has been running for a while?
