- I have a IIci with 8 MB of memory and only about 256K of it set for cache.
- Over the last few days I have been getting two different messages about
- memory problems and would like to find out what to do about them.
-
- BTW, I am running with Sys 7.0.1 and the only things open on the desktop
- are the finder and one application at a time.
-
- The first message comes when I send something to the laserprinter. I get
- the message box that says there isn't enough memory to print now and
- gives me options to print later, cancel, or print now. If I select "print
- now", it does print just fine.
-
- The second message came just last night. I was trying to open a file in
- Electronic Home Design (a low cost home planning package) and got an
- "Insufficient Memory" message. That's all the message said. When I clicked
- on O.K. the application opened, but not the file I was looking for.
-
- When I look at "About this Macintosh" it shows a 4 MB unused block of
- memory. So, what gives? More importantly, what can I do about it? I
- don't think more memory is the answer in this case (although it wouldn't
- hurt). Something somewhere is staying resident in memory that isn't
- showing up visually.
-
- Thanks in advance for any help.
