Well, I doubt, that this is a memory issue, although 32 MB is not overwhelmingly lot of memory. Try to increase the size of pagefile. In our organization there are about 500 Oracle 8.0.5 client computers rangeing from 486 to PII with memory between 16 to 64 MB (Win NT 4.0 and Win '95). It was my job to install all those Oracle clients and I got all of them working -- client on 486 with 32 MB is painfully slow, but it runs. My point is, that those configuration tools seem to crash for lot's of reasons -- syntax errors in configuration files, "wrong" screen resolution or color depth or god knows what else. My advise to you is: go directly to configuration files and edit them with texteditor (a la notepad). The syntax is really easy to learn and you save a lot of time and have less headaches that way.
