I keep getting this error.

Description:
Application popup: Windows - Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low : Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. During this process, memory requests for some applications may be denied. For more information, see Help.

I’m running Windows 2003 Standard and Exchange 2003 Standard on a Dell 2.8Ghz machine. I have 4GB of memory and the page file is set to custom, initial size 4096 maximum size 4096.
This is my boot.ini:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdi
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)par
I’ve tried letting Windows manage the page files size and I still get the error. I can reboot the machine and do nothing and within 30 minutes get the error.
Any ideas on how to correct or track down this problem?

No, I'm not getting any other errors. I have set the page file to 0 then rebuilt it. Still I get the error.
If I look at the task manager store.exe is using 9,712k.

Follow the steps in the article for recreating the page file....make sure its on another disk if possible .
I would also test your memory to make sure thats not it: http://www.memtest86.com/
Then run FULL scan disk to make sure their are no drive errors....
This way we make sure no hardware issues first...
