Hi,

Sounds like that software has memory problems under WinXP, you need to
contact the program vendor for help.

Jorge,

Rick is correct - contact the software company and see if perhaps there is a
compatibility problem, or a patch/upgrade you need.

Since you asked, here is a technical MSDN document about heap memory, what
it does, etc. It's old, but the concepts haven't changed much over the years
(I bet I now receive hate mail from msdn-types telling me how wrong I am and
how much better XP handles heap fragments and what-not).

Prepare to be overwhelmed:

'Heap' is basically RAM that is assigned in a particular fashion (as
opposed to 'stack', which is assigned linearly from one end). As far as
this error goes, it's a programming bug - there's probably nothing that
you can do to fix it.
