Answer 1

• Right click on Computer and open Properties.
• Select Advanced System Properties
• Click Advanced tab
• Under Performance, click Settings
• Under Performance Options, click Advanced tab
• Here under Virtual memory pane, select Change
• Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives
• Highlight your system drive
• Select Custom size
• Change the Initial size value and the Maximum size value to a higher value
• (I Recommend 3500 in first box then 8000 in second)
• Click Set
• Finally Click Apply/OK all the way.

Then restart and try again! Good Luck!
