Post title: Memory settings
Maybe your memory setting is low, you can allocate more memory to WF (if you've got enough on your computer).
Open the Preferences (by clicking F9) and go to Memory Preferences, you have four settings (256, 512, 1024 and 1470 MB), try increasing the memory.
I have had problems in the past when changing the memory settings and there is a chance that after changing the settings you will get an error saying wordfast can't create the java virtual machine, if this should happen:
Locate a file called "wordfast.ini" on your computer, open it with notepad or another text editor and look for the line that reads
-Xmx1470m
(if you gave it the max memory of 1470 MB, if not it will read as -Xmx1024m, or Xmx512m)
change it to read
-Xmx1024m
save the file and open Wordfast.
That should have solved the problem, if not you can allocate lower memory resources: 256 MB or 512 MB, which would be
-Xmx256m
or
-Xmx512m
