Yes, if you don't have much RAM applications can have trouble loading. Increasing your page file size will help. To do that go to run, type:
sysdm.cpl
and press enter. Go to the "advanced" tab. Click "settings" under "performance". Go to the "advanced" tab. Click "change". If you have a different(not the one windows is on) *hard disk*(not a partition or floppy/cd disk) with more than 6GB of free space left, choose that at the top; if not, leave it. Click "custom" and put 4095 in BOTH boxes. Click "set" and then ok on all the windows.
Buying more RAM will help even more.
If you start paint, wait for a few minutes, and it doesn't open, you should end the process. If you don't, paint might still try to open itself for hours, seriously slowing down your computer. If you have XP pro(not home) you can end it by going to start, run and typing:
taskkill /im mspaint.exe /f
If you don't have XP pro, press Ctrl+Alt+Del, go to the "processes" tab, and end "mspaint.exe".
