Some of the PCs at work have some software that frequently spews out 
that error message.

Unfortunately, several users think that what the message is saying is 
"your computer doesn't have enough virtual memory", so they want me to 
add more RAM to the PC. (Yes, I realise that's completely illogical. But 
they seem pretty convinced about it, and won't accept my word that it's 
nothing to do with memory. But hey, I'm only a qualified computer expert...)

Even more unfortunately, the makers of the software have released an 
update which completely fixes this issue - but I'm not allowed to 
install it.
