Out of memory?

[cherber]

My computer which is running on Windows 8 and is a little over a year old is popping up with an error that says "out of memory at number 1" or something like that. Does anyone recognize that error and what it might mean? I have plenty of memory in the machine and do not use a lot of memory. It is basically a computer for email and word processing. No gaming and basic internet surfing.
Thanks,
Cheri

As I currently can't get into my computer as described in another post called Black Screen, I can't give you that information yet.
