I have 256MB. My original e-mail talks about how the physical memory
available drops down to near 5K before it crashes. The strange thing
is that the total memory (pagefile + physical) is set to about 1.2GB,
but I never see it going beyond 490MB. Anything else I can do to make
this better?
Yes, I have Service Pack 2 applied.

What I mean is that in the startwin.bat window, I see these errors
after it crashes.
Is there a log/core dump where I can see what happened?
