That's too vague for anyone to analyse.

You need to explain exactly what the messages say, under what circumstances 
do they occur, and how often.

Is it only after the computer has been running for a while, or on booting, 
or when opening certain programs?

What happens if you turn the warning off?

The usual problem is having too many background programs opening at 
startup, eating up too much of your available memory. 1 Gb RAM is plenty 
for XP under normal circumstances.

Open Task Manager and see if there's anything eating up unusual gobs of 
memory. Disable as many startups as you can (ie everything not essential) 
and see if that makes a difference. You can do this in Msconfig if you 
don't have a startup utility. (Run/type msconfig)

Run a full scan for viruses/trojans, it could be a hoax message. AVG free 
does not rank as well as it used to. Avira free is more wide-ranging as an 
antivirus and antimalware protection and uses much less memory.
