“Windows created a temporary paging file on your computer”

Everytime I log in to my Windows 7 computer I get this error:
  • Windows created a temporary paging file on your computer because of a problem that occurred with your paging file configuration when you started your computer. The total paging file size for all disk drives may be somewhat larger than the size you specified
After clicking OK, it would open the virtual memory settings.
I think this happen because you are out memory on your drive.
Possible Solutions: Login as administrator
  1. Free some space on your disk/drive. Then restart you computer. You might have a very low memory.
  2. Open the virtual memory settings by right-clicking on Computer → Properties → Advanced System Settings 
      → click the Advanced tab
      → Under Performance, click Setting


       go toAdvanced tab, finally under Virtual Memory section click the Change button.


       Uncheck the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives checkbox. 
       Set a “Custom size” for the paging file on the C drive: 0MB initial, 0MB maximum.
       Click OK, close all dialog boxes, and restart your computer.



Other option: login on your computer then open virtual memory settings. Check the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives checkbox.
