Why does this happening every time I open this Adobe After Effects Project, and How do I fix it?

Question

Every time I open a certain Adobe After Effects Project File, this happens (look in the picture below):

(If you can't see the problem, then here's a closer look at it:)

As you can see, every time I open this Adobe After Effects Project File, ((which only has 1 (video) file in it) (which is kind of funny/sad when you think about it,)) IT EATS UP ALMOST ALL OF MY COMPUTER'S (PHYSICAL) MEMORY! And before you say it, Yes, I even closed (aka end tasked) a majority of the programs that eat up 100 MB of Memory on My PC. However, it still EATS UP ALMOST ALL OF MY COMPUTER'S (PHYSICAL) MEMORY EVERY TIME I OPEN THAT ONE ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS PROJECT FILE!

So is the problem software-related and/or hardware-related, and How do I fix it so that it will finally Stop Eating Up almost All of My Computer's (Physical) Memory every time I open that one Adobe After Effects (Project) File?

As @OussK suggested, it is probably a good idea to alter the RAM allocation, which you can do in Edit > Preferences:

Set the RAM reserved for other applications to 4 or 6Gb and you should be able to get your PC to walk and chew gum at the same time.
