Program too big to fit in memory

[Guest]

When I'm tring to install a software on my PC it shows me an error:
"Program too big to fit in memory".
I don't think it has something to do with the memory itself,
Is there any way to correct this?

I'm running:
P4, 2.8GHz, 1GB RAM, 15GB Free HDD Space, WinXp SP2.
On task manager my ram is used nearly 40%.

It happens sometimes when I try to run old 80386 games.

What is the Program and version.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring Task Manager and select the Performance
Tab. What is the Commit Charge? What was the Peak?

Please post a copy of the Error Report as it appears in EventViewer.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer.
When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event
ID, Source
and Description are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the
error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two
pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your
message
(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the
info from the
Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make
sure this is
the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.

There is no log in the EventViewer for this error (No filter applied).
Before running the setup, I deleted all records from the list, and after the
error,
the list is still empty.

Is this an old DOS game? If so you will need to edit the memory
properties for the game.

No, It's not a DOS game, it's was originaly used on Win95.
I tried to use the Compatability options in the shortcut, but it does not
help.

The game worked about 2 years ago on WinXP.
But now something happend now and it does not.
