hi,
every icon on your desktop takes resources (memory), so does a background, items in the tray, ans as you discovered open programs.
suggest you have no background, just a solid color, remove as many items from desktop as you can, Files, Folders, and short cuts.
also, right click on the my computer, go into hardware settings /advanced/virtual memory. it should be set to let the computer manage the virtual memory (or some words like that...). suggest you change it to let me manage, it will give you a min and max window for values. you want to set them the same so that windows won't fragment the disk doing extents on the page file. ***Before*** you do this next part run a defrag program. ***after*** the defrag get to the min/max windows and enter 4096 in both windows. close/close/close and it will want to reboot.
let me know how it goes.
