FYI this error message (not enough memory) is pretty 
generic and many Win apps are spitting it in cases where
it is completely absurd. These apps are roughly using
the following approach :
- if it's error 'file not found', message 'file not found'
- if it's error 'disk full', message 'disk full'
else message 'out of memory'.

So there is (obviously) enough memory on your
new computer. Something else differs, maybe 
a directory that does not exist or is write-protected.
Or it's some unrelated Api that  fails for some system
reason.
Whatever, the debugging approach does not change
(see documentation/bugs). To test file problems, you
can add +file,+dosfs to the +relay debugmsg.
