So, if you open System properties in Windows, it shows 112MB, right?

According to the log, the boot-time scanner ran out-of-memory even before it started to initialize for real. I must say it's rather strange, as it didn't do much up to that point (that could eat any significant amount of memory); more was to come.
What it did was initializing the registry... please check the files
Windows\System32\Config\Software
and
Windows\System32\Config\System
How big are they?

System is 3,584 kb.

Well, since the boot-time scanner runs before the Windows swap file is initialized, it's limited to physical RAM. And if you subtract the amount of RAM taken by the OS itself, I'm afraid that it may easily run out of memory on your system... :-\
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving's not for you.
