This being Squid-2 it could be quite a lot of things that have long ago
been solved and forgotten about. First thing to do is try an upgrade.

Windows APIs used by Squid-2 have a hard limit that cannot be changed.

In Squid-2:
cache deny all
cache_mem 0
cache_dir /dev/null parent 0
In modern Squid just remove any cache_dir you have.

Squid-2 is HTTP/1.0 software which is 5+ years obsolete now.
Go with the Diladele Squid-4, it is modern HTTP/1.1 software and most of
the help you will be able to get relies on features only found in the
Squid-3+ releases.
