When you created the database instance, did you pay any attention to the screen where the memory distribution was listed?

You could try to start the Database Creation Assistant again, and see if you can change those parameters.

Alternatively, close some of the programs you are running; 1GB of RAM, with 40% allegedly for Oracle, leaves 600MB for XP, that only uses about 200, when installed conservatively.
The 400MB is used somewhere else - find it!
