MSAS dies after XP request increase in paging file

[SG]

Have a Dell system I'm working on. This machine is the worst I've seen to
date and I've worked on a lot. The System is a 8200 with 1.8 GHZ processor,
256 MB of RAM.

At first I was having a tough time getting anything to run. I installed
Spybot S&D and Ad-aware. Booted in Safe Mode and ran both. They cleaned many
files, folders and registry entries, enough so that I was able to log on and
update them both. Booted in safe mode and ran them again. Several more
files, registry entries and folders were cleaned up. I installed MSAS,
updated it and ran it in the safe mode. I have tried 6 times now and I keep
getting the same message at the same spot each time.

The message is Windows is low on Virtual Memory and Windows is increasing
the size. This happens during a check of HKLM uninstall branch in the
registry.
It happens at the following...

Total items detected: 35
Files scanned: 20539
Items detected: 863
Registry keys scanned: 8221
Items detected: 596

When I click OK for the Virtual Memory message then MSAS dies and although I
have mouse movement, nothing else will respond including Ctrl-Alt-Del

Thought's???

All the best,

I also get a low virtual mem. warning..I mean every time
MSAS rus. With everything else closed out. I have a Dell
with 128meg. But I am able to continue on.

I would recommend skipping MSAS until beta 2 if its causing that type of
problems.

I have the same problem on a particular computer. Of
course this machine was totally infested with spyware so I
think something Microsoft is trying to remove suddenly
uses up all the virtual memory. I have even increased the
page file to 1Gig and it will suck it up within a matter
of secs once I reach a certain point in the scan.

I removed additional spyware with other programs but MSAS still dies out
while reading the HKLM Uninstall branch. One thing I did find strange and
that is if I run it in Safe Mode under the User account it runs, but dies.
If I try the Administrator Account it gives the Error 101 which I've already
read about and tried the suggestions of uninstall/reinstall.

All the best,
