People at times think that because a game is "high graphics" that it is using alot of memory....but in fact it maybe using very little of the system resources and most or all of the video memory. OOTP crunches TONS of numbers for each game or day or sim that you run......so it could possibly be using more resources than other games(not sure just speculating).

Kind of a side note, ME is about the worst OS you could use. I ran it for 6 months and had to "reboot" 8 or 10 times a day to run programs so I understand. If I were you I'd check ebay or you may even have a copy of Win98 SE that I would use to replace ME.

Have you run scandisk and defrag recently? They may help.
