What kind of memory errors?

Is it running out of memory?

512mb is pretty low for any relatively new software.

I find I run out of 1gb really easy on my xp rig.

You should always set your minimum and maximum page file size the same so as to not create fragmentation. What ever Windows tells you the max is set that to minimum as well.
