When you start Team fortress 2 or any game for that matter, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following error message:
Your system is low on virtual memory. To ensure that Windows runs properly, increase the size of your virtual memory paging file. For more information, see Help.
If you click OK, you may receive the following error message:
