Do some basic maintenance.
Shoot me an email, tell you exactly how to do this.

You may be running many processes, I'd recommend not to open 10,000 things at once and increase your virtual memory as shown in here: http://www.delete-computer-history.com/increase-virtual-memory.html

Simplest way is to delete all of your temp files.....put all of your main stuff in one folder and go to start menu and go to RUN and type in msconfig and uncheck the programs that you do not need to start up when you start your PC..oh, you will need to select selective start-up....If you delete all of those temp files that you saved you will be amazed @ how much memory you will open up..Good luck.

Add more RAM.
Decide how much RAM you need FIRST (XP = 512MB minimum). Then, go to:
Use their "Memory Advisor Tool" to identify your PC's RAM by make and model OR by Scanning your PC (Cool!).
Then, buy new RAM from them (or Kensington, Ultra, etc.) or look for COMPATIBLE second-hand RAM on Kijiji.ca, Craig's List or eBay, to name a few.

1. Turn off anything you're not using. Un-needed programs running will kill your memory..
2. Save what you're doing.. reboot.

Take a look at these to see if they will help. Your other option is to buy more memory.
Good luck

Find and use a RAM cleaner program.
