XXCOPY is not a huge program in the Win32 environment.
It's memory requirement is modest in comparison to many
"serious" applications. The only thing I can suggest to you
is make sure that you have sufficient usable memory to run.
Now, in Windows environment, especially with XP, the
memory allocation for a given program is done in a very
complicated (and probably quite sophisticated) way using
the virtual memory which is in short to substitute the demand
for main memory with a large file on your hard disk (or a
collection of hard disks). So, if your system runs with
an extremely limited amount of free space on your hard disk,
that will reduce the amount of memory made available to
your virtual memory (so called, swap file). In your XP,
the swap file is usually (but not always) named PAGEFILE.SYS.

In essence, the error message is an indication that
your system is extremely short in memory or in free disk
space. You should clean up your disk for more room
and see what happens.
