thats happens bcoz ur system does not have enough RAM to allocate to the virtual machine.Turn off any unnecessary processes such as antivirus etc. and all the other stuff in the taskbar.I also reccomend going in for more RAM cuz with 128 MB u'll be able to use only Win98 on a virtual PC,that too with very slow performance.I reccomend going in for atleast 256 MB of RAM.
