Well I don't know if this is the same problem as what I had. In fact, I don't think I have ever used vitrual memory, but to get it to run on my computer I:

1. Set to Win98 compatibility mode (not Win95).
2. Check all the boxes except "run in 256 colors"
3. Turn OFF all sound acceleration
4. Run the program.

If it is still talking about virtual memory then it looks like you must have some sort of virtual memory thingamabob. Seriously, how much memory to you have on your computer? GIve us your computer specs and, if possible, a more detail explanation of the problem.

Try this. Go to "Control Panel" and then look under "Performance." Go to "Advanced" and you should see an option for "virtual memory." Having said that, mine is apparently only set for less than one megabyte of virtual memory but the game runs fine on my system, so there might be something else going on here. Nevertheless, change that to 3 MB and see if that works for you.

Let me know if it works.
