Hmmm somebody just said that a while ago. Where I got that label is much more benign but it's impossible to change now so pick well it has a way of sticking. That was the exact same error I got when I tried to import the church all at once. As I said many times before; Repeat after me "Grouping is my friend " Hidden layers is a must also when working on huge stuff. The only thing that I can see that could possibly goof you up is that max you set on the swap file. If it goofs up the error will be you have run out of memory. I don't know if XP can handle a swap bigger than 4 gigs and with the memory that's already on your motherboard you have exceeded that number although xp will not realize that till it starts using it all up. Linux machines use a 128 meg swap file max. It uses it much more effecently. Not the winders spew and puke method we have become so accustomed too.
