Yes. If you are getting "Virtual memory too low" errors, it's definitely a
codec issue.

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. I indeed do get "Virtual memory too low"
error messages. So, where do I get the codecs? Or are they simply corrupt?

I quote this
`The virtual memory is the space your computer uses when it runs short of
RAM memory. The paging file is the place where Windows handles your virtual
memory settings. If your computer wants to change it, you should go ahead
and let it because XP will adjust the setting to meet the current memory
needs. I do not recommend changing these settings manually as Windows can
manage the size much more efficiently than the user can. Making your virtual
memory setting larger will increase the number of addresses and will make
Windows lazy.`
How much memory have you ?.
