Check you pagefile.sys increase it. Sounds to me like you are low on virtual memory. The appliation generating this error does not have enough memory.

Yes it is a memory problem, but it might be a corrupt RAM module, because it refferes to a physical address.

So if you have several RAM modules, try removing one at the time and test it for some time.
And when you don?t get the messaage any more, you found the dammaged module.

Do you by any chance have a scroll mouse? If so I think you need to update your intellimouse driver.

to fix this, you need to edit the registry - pretty easy, open regedit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

remove the key that wants to start the tips.exe.

Also found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - delete from here too.
