I have an Win95 with 64 megs of memory. When it starts up in the morning Outlook Express runs correctly.
By afternoon she will get an error message stating that she cannot send because she is out of memory.
She doesn't use any memory intensive software. Telnet sessions to the productions server, Internet Explorer and Outlook express.
This machine was recently wiped clean and reinstalled.
Has over 1gig of available drive space.
I have reinstalled Internet explorer (using 5.5 sp1) and did the repair function.

Have you tried looking for memory leaks? Use a memory management utility that frees up memory when the system is idle or even during normal operations. whatever works best for you...

Check to see what applications are running in the background
From Run type in msconfig and see what is loading at startup.
Do you have screen savers enabled on your desktop they are prime memory hogs.
