I don’t even do layers. I do basic editing. I have 1GB RAM and never had this problem b4.
You should do layers. Always work on a new file.
Ctrl/J before editing. I have 1gig RAM as well and never pick up problems.
About the virtual memory, or what is really called pagefile.sys which lies on the root of the drive you have your operating system installed in.
pagefile.sys size depend only on your installed (physical) RAM. You can change it manually but the default is 1.5 times the amount of your RAM. This is assuming there is contiguous space for the file. If there is not then it will be the size of the contiguous space that allows the closest to 1.5 times your installed RAM. You can use more then one pagefile.sys. Right-click My Computer | Properties | Advanced | Performance Options… | Change… | take it from there.
