i came across this problem too even though I have 4gb of ram. it has
to do with all 32-bit versions of windows only allowing about a 1gb
for programs to run. its more complex than just that, but you can
read about it here

i found that adding /PAE switch to the boot.ini file helps get me a
little bit more memory.

your options are to switch to a 64-bit version of windows, switch to
another OS, or to be much more memory efficient, such as using the
temporary function appropriately and making sure you delete variables
you are no longer using. see david fanning's site
http://www.dfanning.com/tips/delete_all_vars.html
a slight modification of it to get only one variable to be erased is
PRO disappear, getRidOfMe
END
and call it from your program as
disappear, temporary(largeArrayToDelete)

if your using mesh commands, try conserving memory like this
verts=MESH_SMOOTH(TEMPORARY(verts),conn)
hope that helped
