When a program wants to allocate some memory, by default part of
the process is that Windows will try to reserve enough space in the
swap file to hold it, just in case it needs to be swapped out.
  So your list should include "fixed/maximum swap file size too small
for application load" and "no room to expand swap file on drive".

  I'd especially consider the latter case; I've helped users who were
having mysterious memory problems and sometimes found that their
C:\TEMP folder accounted for more than half their hard drive....
