Looking at your snapshot, your user heap is at 22%, which is too
low.  (Windows 9x has 64k limits on the GDI heap and user heap.)
As to how to find out what's causing this, it's a matter of trial
and error.

Run Resource Meter - it's a little app which comes with windows.
It shows the state of the 3 heaps in the system tray, and see if
running any particular application causes your user heap to drop
dramatically.  Double clicking on it produces a larger display.

I also see you're running both ZoneAlarm and AtGuard - is this
really a good idea?
