You are assigning way more memory than you have available (1848+128 >> 1622), in addition to the security issues asked and answered in your previous topic.

I don't unserstand what should I do, I have Windows 7 SP1 without KB3004394.
Be on the safe side I downloaded KB3024777 but it doesn't run, nothing happened.

What you must do to fix the memory allocation issue is allocate less memory to the guest, or free up a lot more memory in the host (shut down stuff before launching the VM). And/or, add more RAM to the host.

As to the security problem, if the 4.3.21 test build doesn't work for you then your only workaround at present is to revert to 4.3.12.
