I've tried in my job computers with Win XP and I had the same problem:

To save you the pain . I went through the same thing but i quickly figured out . Here is the reason why
When you run a Backtest . Win XP does not release the Memory immediately therefore if you happen to run again immediately it will crash the MT4 terminal when it reaches 2 Gigs of Memory usage . Because you have i think 1 GB of RAM it will crash once it hits 1 gig . To see what i am talking about . Open up Task Manager and then sort the processes from Highest usage to Lowest. and then start your MT4 client and do Backtest.
The Maximum memory Limit for MT4 Application is 2 Gigs i.e if the Memory Usage for MT4 Application reaches 2 Gigs it will crash the MT4 application only
If you have less than 2 GB Memory for your Laptop or PC then the MT4 app will crash before the 2 Gig mark because it does not have enough
memory.
The reason i noticed quickly was because i have 12 Gigs of DDR3 on a Windows 64-Bit Vista System with Quad Intel Processors but it still did crash. So it was not Lack of memory but the limitation of MT4 Application i.e ( Most Windows 32-Bit Application like MT4 still have a 2 Gig of RAM Limit ).
Now i am able to do a BACKTEST but i have to watch the Memory usage and i don't run one back test immediately after another to avoid this.
