Your Questions About Computer Repair Services Skype

Computer glitches and says "Not enough memory available to process this command"?
So, I recently had my dad hook up a server computer (I think that's what they're called) to mine so I could save large files without losing too much memory on my computer. That was a month or two ago. Just this week I've been experiencing problems with my computer. This is what happened:
I had about 3 programs open. Skype, Photoshop CS3 and Firefox. I was browsing the web on NORMAL sites; I haven't downloaded any suspicious programs, I have checked my computer for viruses about 4 times with 5 different, legitimate programs I got from a computer repair guy (what I'm saying is, I'm pretty sure it's not a virus).
Anyway, what happened was, everything had started to lag and got all deformed (the X buttons were missing from the tops of windows, things were getting stuck, etc.), which is weird because that doesn't happen often. Or, at all, actually.
My computer has been bugging me about Low Virtual Memory for a while, but I De-fragmented my C: drive or whatever until it wouldn't let me. I have 23 GB of free space on a hard drive that holds 60 GB. I think that's a fair amount, right? Eh, I don't know.
It isn't that bad... I just can't have more than 1 program open or there is a high chance that the errors will pop up again. I am so used to multitasking, it's killing me not being able to work on multiple things!
I don't know what to do! I haven't experienced this problem before. It might be because of the Network I have been sharing my files on; I read somewhere (before my computer totally lagged and I shut it off) that I should go and increase some number on the server computer to 20? Something like that. I think it was messing with the registry.
Anyway, any advice would be awesome.
I'm on a Windows XP Media Center Version 2002 Service Pack 3 if that helps.
Thanks!

George asks…
Do you use your computer for any and pretty much everything?
And what's a computer without a decent internet connection? To me, they go hand in hand. I don't remember the last time i went on a computer and did not use the internet. These days, I browse for everything online... from recipes to job postings. I recently started using skype too (thanks to Oprah) and since i don't have a home phone, i now make a lot of my calls using that. Sure the quality is SOMETIMES bad, but skype is so ridiculously cheap compared to any other phone service, that it's beyond worth it to me. I also use my laptop and computer to save on cable b/c i can find literally any show or movie online.
So is there anyone else out there that uses their laptop a lot? And what are some things you use it for? It would be good to get extra ideas lol..
I'm so dependent on this computer now that everytime it's in for repairs, it's such a nightmare. Thankfully, that's not too often.
