Error: Out of memory when starting a program (due to compressed drive).
Error:
Out of Memory.
Cause:
Windows 95 is installed on a compressed drive and the swap file has been placed on the host drive. The swap file cannot grow large enough to accommodate the program being run because the host drive does not have enough free space.
Solution:
If using a Microsoft compression program such as DriveSpace or DblSpace, place the swap file on the compressed drive. Otherwise move the swap file to an uncompressed drive.
NOTE: The following task should be performed by a qualified computer technician.
Do the following only if using a Microsoft compression program such as DriveSpace or DblSpace:
1) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
2) Select 'Settings' and select 'Control Panel'. (The 'Control Panel' window appears.)
'Control Panel'
3) Double-click the 'System' icon. (The 'System Properties' dialog box appears.)
'System' icon
4) Click the 'Performance' tab. (The 'Performance' tabbed page appears.)
5) Click 'Virtual Memory...'. (The 'Virtual Memory' dialog box appears.)
'Virtual Memory'
6) Select the 'Let me specify my own virtual memory settings.' radio button.
a) Type the drive letter of the compressed drive.
NOTE: A drive that has been compressed using a third-party compression utility should not be used.
b) Type the minimum size of the swap file in the 'Minimum' box. (Windows does not decrease the size of the swap file below this number.)
c) Type the maximum size of the swap file in the 'Maximum' box.
NOTE: The size of the swap file depends on how much RAM the computer has. For example, if the computer has 4 MB of RAM at least 10 MB of free disk space are required for a swap file. If the computer has 16 MB of memory very little disk space is required for a swap file.
7) Click 'OK'.
8) Reboot the computer.
