PEGAMATIONS, as is true of all graphic intensive programs, require a lot
of memory to run.
If the PEGAMATION will not run on your computer, there are a few things
you can do to provide sufficient memory for the PEGAMATION:
1. REMOVE TSRs: TSRs or Terminate and Stay Resident programs load
themselves into memory and remain there until they are
needed. These programs [such as mouse drivers, CD-ROM drivers
etc.] occupy memory space while they are waiting to be
used. PEGAMATIONS are self-contained, and require no TSRs.
You can remove them very simply by copying <or renaming> your
AUTOEXEC.BAT to a file with a name like AUTOEXEC.HLD. Then
DELETE the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and reboot. This will prevent
the TSRs in the AUTOEXEC.BAT from loading. After you are
done running the PEGAMATIONS, simply copy <or rename> the
AUTOEXEC.HLD back as AUTOEXEC.BAT and reboot and everything
will be restored. If you system loads and TSRs by way of the
CONFIG.SYS file, it may be necessary to temporarily "REM"
them out of the CONFIG.SYS by putting a <'> as the first
character of the line you want ignored. Later you can
restore the REMed out lines by deleting the <'>.
2. LOAD DOS HIGH: If you are using DOS 5.0 (or higher), and you are using
a 286 with some extended memory you can add the line:
DOS=HIGH
in you CONFIG.SYS file. This will cause DOS to load
itself high, freeing conventional memory. It is a good
idea to do this even if you do not need the extra
memory right now, someday you will! Consult your DOS
manual for more information on this procedure.
3. LOAD OTHER *.SYS FILES INTO HIGH MEMORY:
If you do have some expanded memory, and you have put
the above line in your CONFIG.SYS file, you can add
the line:
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
After that line, you can put *MOST* other lines that
follow in the CONFIG.SYS into high memory with the
line DEVICEHIGH=<FILENAME>.SYS. Consult your DOS
manual for more information on these procedures.
If you try all of the above, and that still doesn't work, drop me a

I am not promising I can help, but I will try.<g>
