unable to open new file

I've got a new Dell desktop (2.33GHz, 2gig RAM) just last month and it works
fine. Other than occasionally I cannot open a new file/webpage/folder etc...

eg. When I am using IE7 to surf, and I wanna open a new tab, it doesn't open
up. At this time I can't even open anything new such as a window or another
exe application..

However the problem is fixed when ie. I close a tab on IE and then I can
open ie. a new folder. The problem compounds itself with me being able to do
less and less without first closing something, be it a tab on IE, or a
window, or an application.

Any ideas ? Is it to do with the memory allocation ?

cheers
