It isn't necessarily the component - it can be the number of them. In
older versiosn of Windows, all the components have to share a limited
area of memory. So although one instance of a component is fine, 1000
of them exhausts that area. As Michael wrote, upgrading to an NT
based version of Windows will do wonders for yourr performance,
capacity and stability.

Good luck.
