wow...what? codes like 0xc0000017 are usually a registry problem but in your
case its a low memory issue.see article
Error message when you start Windows: "Your system is low on virtual memory"-
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;EN-US;Q315351

have you ever seen the ballon "system is low on virtual memory, please
increase th size..." pop up on your taskbar?try these:

RAM, Virtual Memory, Pagefile and all that stuff
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;555223
and
How to Clear the Windows Paging File at Shutdown
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314834/EN-US/

if these dont help then you need to post more information about your system
what version of windows
how much RAM \ pagefile memory you have
processor speed (ie 233 Khz - 4 Ghz)
how exactly does this error happen (what were you doing, ant and all
applications that were open)
