Before you throw the white flag, I'd make sure it's a problem that needs such big change. When it gives that kind of error, use the Windows 'Resource Monitor' to find out what is using the most memory - just go to the 'Memory' tab and click on total read / write to see what's using the most memory. There could be a background program eating it that you don't notice. If that's the case, use 'Task Manager' to end the process to free up that memory.

The real problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do.
