Greg: You may want to check out what your swap file size is. Go to the system dialog, (windows key with the pause key). Then go to the advanced tab in the diallog by pressing control tab a few times. In this nested dialog, press control tab to go to the advanced page. Tab over to the virtual memory change button and press the space bar. You should select the custom setting in the combo box, and set your minimum and maximum file size to the same value, which should be 1.5 times the total amount of ram in your system.
