Increasing the page file is like increasing your RAM (
Random Access Memory or page file), but virtually. All computers use this to an extent. Sounds great in theory, but a problem with virtual RAM is that it isn't memory dedicated specifically to the processor. Whilst RAM can be used at any time by the processor, for the processor to use
virtual page files (basically your hard drive), it must wait for the hard drive to write. Hard drives write and delete quite fast, but not as quickly as RAM. Increasing your virtual page file will virtually increase your RAM, but it won't do it effectively or efficiently. The best way to improve your RAM is to buy more of it physically. Software can only do so much for hardware.
Increasing the page file won't necessarily work, as his hard drive might not be catered for it. I'd say you're on the right track about inadequate memory ThievingSix, but I don't think increasing the page file will help the OP.
Sounds like he's using a low end computer with a low end hard drive that won't write effectively fast enough to be used as RAM.
Part of me is suspecting that either your graphics memory or RAM is failing on you. Either way, it's a memory problem. The best solution is to go out there and upgrade your RAM to at least 512MB, and upgrade your graphics card to something with 256MB. This will most likely stop any files from the Fiesta client from further crashing.
If you are unable to upgrade your hardware, I only have one other long shot solution. Chances are it won't work, but I'll throw it out here anyway.
D3DX9_30.DLL error
Basically your "DirectX" could be corrupting your gaming performance on Fiesta. The solution? Update it to the latest version. I've provided you a link
here, but be warned it is strictly for Windows XP and beyond. It will not work with any older versions of Windows.

If that doesn't work, come back posting the following:
Your computer's general specifications:
To get a low down on these you'll need to get into your system properties.
To access your system properties:
Option 1: Right click My Computer and select properties.
Option 2: Start > Control Panel > System. This is if you're using the classic control panel.
By default this will take you directly to the "General" properties of your system, located under the tab labelled "General." It encompasses information regarding your
Operating System (OS),
Processor information and the amount of
RAM available to your system. Report
all of these in your post.
Graphics information:
I will need your graphics card information too. If you don't have it handy, you'll need to access your
device manager. The device manager is a handy tool distributed in Windows that allows an overview of your currently installed hardwares. It reports all appropriately plugged in devices' status' in real time. There are several ways to access your graphics information via the device manager from my personal knowledge.
Option 1: Go to your system properties using the steps previously mentioned before and click on the
tab at the top labelled hardware. Click on the
device manager. Find the hardware labelled "Display Adapters." Report what is there.
Option 2: Right click "
My Computer" and click "
Manage." Select
Device Manager. Select "
Display Adapters" and report what is there.
Option 3:
Start > Run > Type "devmgmt.msc" without quotation marks. Click
Display Adapters, report what is there.
Nature of your problem:
Next time you get the
error code and its' descriptor, copy it down.
Copy every exact detail, don't miss a number, don't miss a letter. This information is probably the
most vital to solving your problem, as it describes your problem. It will allow us to eliminate false solutions and provide you with the best possible ones.
Whilst the error code is useful too, anything "unusual" you experience should also be described. This can range from a jumpy gaming experience, to the screen blacking out, or in your case, a missing cursor.
