I had a problem reading a multi-megabyte bitmap file once (not in IDL)
and got the windows error:
failed with error 8: Not enough storage is available to process
this command.
I had plenty of memory and disk space, so I had to dig to find the
answer. It seems that the load was using kernel memory instead of user
memory for efficiency reasons. I had to modify the load function and
everything worked fine.
Write to me if your problem turns out not to be an IDL problem and
I'll try to help you.

Marcela,
If you are under windows, there is a big difference between "total
available memory" and "memory available for ONE variable"... see the
'memtest.pro' procedure from ITTVIS to find out!

This sounds like classic assumption error to me. I'd test
them all. :-)
Cheers,
