Simply do what the message is saying: download a ram drive utility (I recomend XMS/EMS RAM disk v1.9i) and setup a ramdrive. A ramdrive is like a hard disk, exept that it is located in XMS or EMS memory (instead of a disk) and, as a consequence, loses all it's contents after a computer restart/power off. They are often used to store temporary files, as a ramdrive is faster than a real HD. Read the documentation for instructions on how setting up one.
