Ah. Thanks. The error message was a bit "general". I was trying to import the UK osm and I'm running an Intel Core 2 Quad with 4Gb of RAM.
I tried a small osm file (1.7Mb zipped) and it loaded ok. I re-tried with the uk osm file using the --slim option but it now says that --slim is not an option I'm using osm2pgsql_latest.exe I retried it with osm2pgsql and the -s option but it fell over with an AddGeometryColumns() - invalid SRID error.
