Doesn't necessarily mean programs. Drivers (video, network, scanner,
sound) also take up parts of the User and GDI heap. For instance - try
switching to the Standard Microsoft VGA driver, and see if that helps.
Also - another thought.. how much conventional memory do you have free?
I've had a case where the amount of conventional memory available has
caused out of memory errors in Windows.
Try running Memmaker, and see if that helps at all
