Outlook Express low memory message

I have a friend running Windows XP Home Edition, OE is
default mail client. Just recently, after using the PC
almost a year, when she tries to forward e-mail, she gets
a message stating "low memory" (she has plenty of RAM and
hard drive space) but she can compose and send new mail.
Also, when she closes OE, she no longer gets the little
box to choose disconnect, and if she clicks on the modem
icon in the taskbar and then clicks "disconnect" the phone
does not disconnect. I've run a virus check on all files,
everything is fine. No new programs have been installed.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot/fix this?
 
Hi,

This is a sign of one of the new worms. They are not being picked up by all
scanners. Check the running processes and runkeys by using the script on
line 262: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Close Windows Explorer, run the edit on line 257 which includes the prompt
for the patch once your system has been cleaned. This script removes all
variants of the W32.Blaster.Worm (original, b and c).
