Following are some of actions that you can take to avoid this error.

Open Local Drive (C:)>>
In the Local Disk (C:)>>
Double-click the Windows or WINNT>>

Then Delete>>
Confirm Delete dialog box click Yes>>
Close the Minidump window.


Temporarily disabling error reporting

Right-clock on my computer>>
Select properties>>
Advanced tab>>
Error reporting button>>
Turn on the "no error reporting" check box and turn off the "but notify me" option.

Disable Virtual Memory

Right-click on the My Computer icon on the desktop>>
Select Properties >>
Select the Advanced tab>>
Click Settings in the Performance Area>>
Under Performance Option Menu Click Advance Tab>>
In the Virtual Memory area click Change>>
Under Paging file size for select drive>>
click No paging file>>
Then click Set.

You will see two warnings. Just click Yes on both of them and then select the System managed size option. Close all the dialog.

Delete the paging file

Reboot. Verify that the option reads 0 kb for page file. Use folder options on control panel or explorer "tools" pulldown menu & go to "view" tab. Turn off check box to permit viewing of system files. Now explorer on the root of C drive (or what ever drive letter you page file was set to use), should show a pagefile.sys entry. Delete this. You will get a warning message about this being a system file. Since you have disabled virtual memory, this entry is not being used. Delete it. Go empty the trash bin to make sure this entry is cleared.

Re-enable Virtual Memory

Right-click on my computer>>
Select properties>>
Advanced tab>>
Performance settings>>
Advanced tab>>
Virtual memory "change" button>>
Turn on the system-managed or customized paging file with the same settings as you noted down earlier.
Be sure to press the set button.
Reboot and verify that the paging file is active.

Re-enable error reporting that was disabled earlier. Reboot to verify that the repetitive error message has indeed "left the building"
