   Michael, is it possible that you could upload the 8+Mb file somewhere, 
and I'll see if it runs on my machine? I believe that I may have a similar 
system to yours, (at least, I hope so, (apart from XP Home)):

    Windows XP Home (5.1, Build 2600) SP2
    AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+, 1.6GHz
     1024MB RAM
     Page File: 214MB used, 2734MB available

   Other than the above, I can only suggest a couple more things that you 
can try:

     Faulty memory? You could try Memtest: http://www.memtest86.com/

     Have you tried disabling all background services? (Although, this 
shouldn't really be a problem as I run fairly heavy files with all services 
running).

     Anyway, let me know if you upload the file and we'll see if it throws 
any errors here.

     ~Steve~
