How much PHYSICAL memory do you have installed? What operating system are you using?

Sorry for the delay. Physical memory is 256mb and OS is Windows XP Pro.

You probably know you'd really benefit by getting more ram...

Control Panel->System icon->Advanced tab->Performance Settings button->Advanced tab->Virtual Mem "change" button.

Try using the "System Managed" option.

I'd recommend 768 initial and maximum. Also make sure that the partition it's on is not close to full.
