- I agree that there is something strange here. At home on my 386/40, I *never*
- have this problem. But at work on my 486DX/25, I am a bit careful about
- how many - and what sort - of tasks I open.
-
- The task that always seems to cause problems is DaVinci E-mail (windows)
- started from our Novell LAN and running seamless on my desktop......If I open
- 5 things then this - no problem.
-
- If I open this first - then try to open the same five things - i only get to
- about number 3 and everything starts with the PV?00002 (or is it 1?) messages
- about there not being enough memory. Beep! Beep! Beep!
-
- If i leave the e-mail closed and check it every 20-30 minutes, I have no
- trouble whatever......
-
- Mind you....I have about 250 messages on my queue at any one time (about 4
- days worth).......
