Note: AOL recommends using Virtual Memory if you have less than 24 MB of built-in memory (RAM). If you have less than 24 MB of RAM, you must use Virtual Memory to increase your available RAM to a minimum of 24 MB.
How To Turn on Virtual Memory:
1. From the Apple menu select Controls Panels, then select Memory. The Memory Control Panel window appears.
2. Under Virtual Memory, select On.
3. Under Virtual Memory, use the Up arrow to increase the memory to 24 or higher.
4. Restart your computer for the change to take effect.
If you turn on Virtual Memory, check the free space on your Hard Drive to ensure that you still have 30 MB of free space on your Hard Drive.
In addition to the America Online installer files, there is a folder titled CD Games Installer ƒ.
