How much total memory does the laptop have?
How much memory has it allocated for the integrated graphics chipset?

See BIOS or use DXDiag tool to check memory.

Right Click my computer go properties>Advance Tab>under performance click settings>click the advance tab>under virtual memory go change then take it off system managed and put it on custom size and if you have 2gb ram set it to a max of about 4092mb.

This will allow you to use some of your HDD space as virtual memory and should fix this error, windows sucks when it comes to handling your virtual memory this way is much more effective.
