>I'm having a problem with a WinXP SP2 computer that contains 2 gig of functional RAM. It seems to run out of memory at about 1.25 gig of page file usage. PF allocation is set to be system managed (currently XP says it's using 2 GB). See screen shot.

Not sure what you mean by "seems to run out of memory". The screen shot shows clearly you're NOT out of memory.

If you mean your system is unresponsive or extremely sluggish, the most common cause of this is one or more processes that are hammering your disk drive(s). If the drive light is on continuously this is likely the issue. Another cause is ActiveX controls running in IE windows/tabs, these can add up to a lot of CPU, but from your screen shot you're not CPU-bound either.
