No. You have unresponsive software, due mostly likely to a bad install. Uninstall any new programs that you have installed lately, then reinstall one by one until the errors reappear.
The 80 gigs you are seeing is your hard drive...the storage space of your computer.
System memory (RAM) is completely seperate from this.

When you say 80 Gigs, I assume that's your hard drive? If so, you shouldn't start having real issues until you have less than 10% free capacity, so that's not your problem. You can try cleaning up and defragging the drive, which will help performance some, but again, that's not your main issue.
How much RAM do you have? If it's less than 512, buy more (more is always better). That will boost performance more than anything.
The error message you're getting can be caused by too few resources, but not usually. More likely that you have a problem with your operating system, or the program itself. I would check event viewer for errors, do a registry clean, and reinstall the program that keeps failing. If it's multiple programs, run task manager in the background, focused on the performance tab, and see what resources are being consumed prior to failure. (Some antivirus programs are notorious for stealing resources... you might check to see if that's the culprit. Try AVG for free if it is.) If RAM is insufficient, get more RAM or check for memory leaks. If processor pegs out at 100% for an extended period, get a bigger processor. Check the processes tab to see which programs are using RAM/processor.
If all else fails, reinstall windows.
