Extremely low physical memory when running an application

I have a question about Dealing with Bad Memory (RAM):

Here's my problem: I am running Windows ME on a PIII 866 Mhz with 128 Mbs of RAM. I tried opening Word 2000 maybe a month ago, and it just wouldn't open... After waiting like 5 minutes, it finally told me I was "Out of memory". So I went into the system information to see how much physical memory I had available... When no program is running, it usually stays at 5 Mbs and can go up to 14 Mbs(???). Also, when I run an application, the available physical memory goes down to 300 Kbs and STAYS THERE! I don't think that is a normal process since I have 128 Mbs of RAM. I read some of the other posts, but I don't have the same problem... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! -Matt
