I was using Google maps and wanted to email search results. Maps very slow to load and when I sent email I got the message "Virtual memory minimum too low" and was advised to click on Help. I often need to make several attempts before Firefox loads and my computer is very slow in most tasks. Thanks for any assistance. Doreen

You can check the Virtual Memory settings here: Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Settings (Advanced tab)
Windows can manage more memory then is physical available and that memory is stored in a page file on your hard drive.
If the size of that file is not large enough and all available memory is in use then you get the Virtual Memory is low warning.
Make sure that you have at least 1 GB or the recommended setting for the Virtual Memory.
If you have less than 1 GB physical memory installed on your computer then if possible add more memory.
