Insufficient virtual memory. How can I fix this?

My machine is communicate me often that my VM is too low

If you mean that you see a message like this:
Virtual memory minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.
This means that Windows XP is to let you know that he does his work.  The message is not an error message - this is an informational message.
If XP thinks that the size of the swap file (usually c:\pagefile.sys) is too small to accommodate your day-to-day transactions, it will adjust the paging file to expand the pagefile and display this message as it does.  It is not necessarily a 'problem', but the message is boring.
Sometimes, the message indicates someone was tampering with the XP of the paging file settings to try to solve another problem that usually has nothing to do with their paging file and resolve things inefficiently.  It could also mean that the settings were never properly defined
in the first place when a XP was installed everything first.
To see what your current, make settings right click my computer, properties, advanced, performance, Advanced tab, virtual memory, settings
then click the button change.
At least that learn you more about managing memory than Windows XP, it is usually best to simply let XP manage the size of your virtual memory paging file.
The best setting for the size of swap file is usually going to be:
System managed size
Windows XP will attempt to affect a swap file approximately 1.5 times the total amount of RAM installed on your system.  To manage the size of paging file Windows XP is enough for most configurations.
If your system is not set to the size of the managed system, you must determine how it changed and why (usually a bad reason), make a note of the current settings to change them back later if necessary, and then change the setting to the size of the managed system, click on the Set button and then click on apply to apply the changes (you will be asked to restart).
"Because someone told me to" is not a good reason to start making adjustments to the size of pagefile.  Setting just above to enlarge it by an arbitrary value can ease the symptoms of the problem and stop message, but may not result in the best configuration for your system.
If you want your system to operate as efficiently as possible, you must understand what is happening and fix it properly and not only begin to try things or make some arbitrary adjustments.  The size of the pagefile can really need adjustment, but you should at least try to know what you're doing and why you need to do
.  It is unlikely that anyone can tell you how to adjust your settings properly without more information.
If you don't know what are the best settings, or if you are not sure what should be your settings, follow these steps:
Click Start, run and enter in the box:
Msinfo32
Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the results here.
There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and what appears to be personal information for you, simply delete the personal information of the pasted information.
This minimize back Q & A and eliminate the guesswork and assumptions.
Without this information system, suggestions for adjustments are more likely to make only assumptions.
After each adjustment of settings, restart, then check the paging again file settings to make sure they "stick", and then retest your system and see if you still get the message.
If you still see the message, you can determine what applications that consume a large part of the virtual memory that Windows XP must keep adjusting work.  Knowing that information, you can decide what to do to solve the problem.
Some antivirus and anti-malware applications are known to consume large amounts of virtual memory (like the Spybot Teatimer).
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira
!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
You can determine how the applications use virtual memory and those who use virtual memory using the Task Manager.
To do this:
Click with the right button on the taskbar, choose Task Manager and select the processes tab.
Click View, select column, check the box that says: virtual memory size.  Expand the height and the width of the Task Manager by dragging the edges to see if possible all the columns and the processes in a single window.
Double click on a column heading in the Task Manager to sort this column.  For example, sort tasks in the column size CPU or virtual memory manager.
Here's an example of what looks like my poor task (including the column virtual memory information) Manager:
On your system, what are the top 5 processes that use virtual memory?
You can also make a screen shot of your task manager and we can provide some ideas and tips that don't involve try random things.

Do, or do not. There is no test.

I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!
