Extracting .arc files in XP?
I have downloaded some large .arc files (~ 500mb), but not being able to extract them in XP.
I tried all the extractors available: 7zip, Peazip and so on.
The error given by Peazip is some like: "not enough memory", but I have 2 gigs RAM and 28 gigs of disk space.
Had anybody encountered similar problems?
Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

You can free RAM memory by quitting unneeded programs.

Restart Windows.

Restart Windows in safe mode* and try again.
*Note: On start up (before Windows loads) keep tapping either F5 or F8 then use arrow keys to highlight 'Safe Mode with networking' click on a user account, enter the password (if you don't know it, there probably isn't one so leave it blank) and hit enter/return.

make sure that you extract the file in a partition that has more free space then the file
check the properties of the drive to make sure you have enough free space
if necessary, free some space
