This usually happens when you have too many programs running in the background taking up too much of you physical memory so windows has to use your hard drive as memory. This slows down your system and can give an error message like you are describing. The most important thing to do is stop all the junk that is starting up. There are multiple ways to do this. You can disable each program from starting when you start windows from inside the program. Windows 98, Me, and some versions of XP have a command you can type at the run line - "msconfig" this opens a dialog box where you can uncheck items you do not want to startup with windows. Be sure to disable things like office startup and ad programs. Do this first, then clean off the unused junk on your hard drive. You may also want to download ad-aware or a program such as this, lately I have seen a lot of problems being caused by spyware and adware programs so be sure to get rid of those. Then defragment your hard drive to help the performance there.
