Any ideas as to what is sucking up my virtual memory?

I have a gig of RAM on this PC, but I am trying to install something that says it needs at least 3 megs free to run. I can't figure out why I wouldn't have enough free memory. Is something sucking it up? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Umm, more information is certainly required for this. Did you even look at Task Manager?

Is it porn?
Sorry I shouldn't even be in this form *wanders off*.

Yes, and I still don't know.
What can I do to free up more virtual memory? I tried changing a couple of settings, in the control panel for virtual memory, but nothing is working. Would a hijackthis log or a screenshot of something help?

If you could post your task maneger process list, screenshot preferable we might be able to help. have you tried restarting the PC?

Restarted a few times, yes.
Is the virtual memory a function of the processor, or the actual RAM?

To answer your question: virtual memory is a function of the operating system.

Open Task manager -> Processes tab -> add columns -> tick "Virtual Memory Size" -> click on the new column twice to get the highest values up the top -> Send all your money to me.
