    You probably have a memory leak, and that probably is caused by the game. But just in case...

    1) Update Vista to SP1, there are some memory bugs fixed. And not the beta SP1, just in case that is what you really have.
    2) Update/patch the game if a patch is available.
    3) Update your drivers with the latest from www.laptopvideo2go.com
    4) Make sure you did not turn off the Virtual Memory (yes, its occasionally useful).

    One last thing...make sure the virtual memory is dynamic - i.e. make sure it has space to grow. Make the upper limit 4096mb or so, then you should be good to go.
