I finished editing my movie, and now I want to save it to my computer, but it
says that I am low virtual memory. I have a laptop, so I don't even know if I
can buy RAM to increase my RAM size.
 
Virtual memory is not RAM. It is actually a paging file on your hard drive
that Windows uses as RAM.
Go to:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System. Under the {Advanced} tab you
have a [Settings] button in the "Performance" category. Click that button
and the Performance options will pop up. Click the {Advanced} tab and you
will see where you can change your Virtual Memory. Click the [Change] button
and there you have the option of increasing/decreasing the size of the
paging file or letting Windows manage it automatically. If Windows manages
it the size will be increased if needed but in some cases the filesize will
be huge so with a laptop you may not want to do that unless you have a large
enough HDD that it won't be a problem.
