Your settings sound fine, but a new computer comes with a lot of add-on widgets and other software that you weren't running on your old computer. Some of that software may be buggy leading to this error.
Within seconds after the error message is seen, start/run taskmgr.exe, click on Performance tab, look at Physical Memory and Commit Charge information. According to what you said below, your Commit Charge Limit should be 3072000 (or thereabouts). If you see a number greater than 2048000 for Commit Charge Total, switch to the Processes tab. At the top of the table click on Mem Usage to sort the list by large memory consumers. Scroll to the bottom to see the major memory consumers. Report all of the numbers from the Physical Memory and Commit Charge and what you found under Processes for further advice.

I'm running the same stuff as I did on my old computer, where I never had any problems, even though I had less memory (512, I think) than on this one (1 GB). I've set it as you all advised a couple of months ago -- Recommended setting is 1534 MB, and it's set so that the initial and maximum sizes are 2048MB. But the errors are becoming more frequent. Any idea what's going on?
