low memory or system resources

Go to Control Panel, Systems applet to the Performance tab, and click the Change button in the Virtual Memory box. If the Maximum Registry Size is the same size as the Current Registry Size, increase it. Also, make sure your pagefiles are appropriately sized.

How much physical memory do you have? If it's not 64MB, get it there and then change your virtual memory settings.

In addition/support to the above answers:
1) check physical memory, recomend 128 Megs RAM for NT to function well, which means Vurtual should be at least double that.
2) MAke sure you don't have a lot of services running (AIM, RealPlayer, MSNM, etal.) These eat up System Resources and you don't even know it.
3) If your server is running any services for others (File/Print) then you should look at bumping up the RAM a bit more. Others are using your system now too - which requires more memory.
4) Check the pagefiles for printing, they can take up tons of space and slow down the Wkstn.
5) Always update to current patches to increase performance and plug holes. This might solve memory leaks which contribute to low system resources and performance degredation.
6) Check for hidden services running in the background either by using CTRL-ALT-DEL or by editing the registry (caution when editing registry). Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

If have another drive (ex: d:\) move excel, word, powerpoint, mp3 etc to another drive and change the virtual memory in system properties in performance tab ( exmaple: 500 mb)
