Program is too big to fit in memory

[Tom]

For the last day or so, anytime I try to invoke IE6 I
have been getting a DOS batch window that displays the
error message "Program is too big to fit in memory."

Has anyone encountered this problem before? The computer
is a 1.2 GHz Athlon with 128MB of RAM and everything else
is running well and very fast. I performed a clean
install of Windows XP Professional less than one week ago.

I ran both of these utilities, yet the problem persists.
Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks a lot for your
help.

Disable some of your startup applications using MSCONFIG.
