Not enough memory is available. Quit some programs.

Hit ctrl-alt-del to open the task manager and quit some programs like it says. Run msconfig and stop running some the programs at startup and in your system tray.

It could also be that your drive is filling up. Windows uses hard disk space as virtual memory by swapping data in and out of RAM onto you hard disk. Windows is a bit of a hog for disk space. I've seen it use nearly 1gb (all the free disk space I had) and then complain there wasn't enough memory available. When that happens all you can do is reboot and Windows will reduce the swap file size to something reasonable. Re-booting regularly, e.g. daily, helps keep windows memory management under control.

Lets not forget the possibility, however remote, that its just a Windows error. :)

If the other suggestion dont work...

Try rebooting- even the NT machine. Remove some programs from your startup with "msconfig" at your run command.

Also- may sound strange- replace the cable or netcard if still problems continue.
