Click Start>Run, type   system.ini   and click OK.
Scroll through the file till you find the heading
[vcache]
Immediately under that heading, add or modify this line to read:
MaxFileCachea44
Close the file and save the changes when prompted.
Reboot.

Do you have an antivirus installed?  Some older versions of McAfee used to
do this to Win95 all the time.
