I'm having a very difficult issue with my memory
distribution.

Yesterday, I was running quite a few things. My memory
availability was pretty low, so I can understand why this
sort of thing would happen. I opened a somewhat old
graphics program (Photodraw v2) and attempted to save an
image as a .jpg file. Unfortunately, when I hit save, it
left a large white space where the box had been. Minutes
later, it says that it has to shut down.

Thinking it's just because of the other programs, I
didn't think much of it until I tried again today. I
tried to save a .jpg again, with absolutely nothing
running, not even messenger, and it did the same thing.

Going into the task manager, I looked at the processes
tab and found that there were 35 unknown processes
running. Is that normal? Anyway, I started to end a few
processes (stupid, I know, as some has SYSTEM by them)
and then a box appeared saying "You're computer will shut
down due to such and such". I'm afraid I can't remember.

But if anyone knows how I can get Photodraw to work
again, I'd be very thankful.
 
By itself, the number of processes running is of no consequence.

Have you determined that Photodraw v2 is compatible with Windows XP?

Yes, this has been working for me since last December.
This is only recently that it is not working.

And you memory is how much? It would be nice to mention it. :-(
