Not enough virtual memory error

I am reading the WED Editor tutorial from the GS7 downloads page. I am currently reading the "Outside World I" section in the tutorial, and trying to complete the WED exercise. My level compiles and runs fine, until I try placing a dirt texture on the ground outside the house I made from the tutorial. When I try to build my level after placing a dirt texture on the ground, I get an error message saying:

----CRITICAL ERROR----
ERROR: Not enough virtual memory.

Press any key...

Do I need to just try increasing the virtual memory on my computer, or is there another reason why this error shows?

post the screenshot of the settings of your map compiler?

I had the same problem one time. try to increase nexus in file->map properties. I increased mine to 200 and it worked.

I had the same problem, try closing the 3d view in wed and click compile, also turn down the lighting to low and/ or put Rad subdivision to 255.

I tried doing what Muhsin and Truth said, but it still did not work.

Here are my map compiler settings:

v7.34
Light Calculations: low quality
Warnings: quiet
CPUs to be used: 2
Detail faces: none
Zoom-level: 1
Max level size: 56000
Tesselate shaded: 236

Light limiting at: 196
Light scale: 0.50

Any help in getting rid of this virtual memory error will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry Quadraxas. I am using an iMac keyboard on the windows side of my iMac, and cannot seem to find a way of making a screenshot, so I posted my map compiler settings below.

Try to set this NOT to auto...

thats not much related, try setting the lightmap resolution to "std" (middle)

Thanks Quadraxas. It looks like it worked. Now my problem is trying to get the sun and light on the outside to work right, but you got me going in the right direction. Thanks again.
