Labels:text | font | black and white | paper | publication | document OCR: The New Way Things Work runs very slowly or runs out of memory The New Way Things Work uses a large amount of your system memory to display illustrations, and to run animations and videos. If it does not have access to enough memory, The New Way Things Work will run slowly or produce out-of-memory errors. In such cases, the following may help to improve the program's performance: 1. Shut down any other applications you are running. 2. Find out how much memory your computer has available. Windows 3.1/3.11 users can do this by typing MEM and pressing enter at the DOS prompt. Windows 3.1/3.11 users need a minimum of 8Mb to run The New Way Things Work. Windows 95/98 users can do this by selecting 'Settings' then 'Control Panel' from the 'Start' button on the Task Bar. Double-click the system icon, then check the RAM specified under Computer.' 3. Windows 3.1/3.11 users should check that Windows has sufficient memory available for The New Way Things Work. Do this by selecting 'About Program Manager' from the 'Help' menu in Program Manager. The available memory should be at least 16,384Kb. This figure indicates the presence of a Windows swap file. More memory may become available if you restart Windows. If the figure is less than this, either you have no Windows swap file or the swap file is too small. If this is the case, you should follow step 4 below. 4. If you are running Windows 3.1/3.11 in Enhanced mode, set up a permanent Windows swap file of at least the size of your current total RAM. Windows usually creates a temporary swap file, but this may be unavailable if your disk is full or fragmented. Consult your Windows documentation for more information. 5. Run a defragmentation program to speed up your hard disk. 6. If you are running in colour modes higher than 256 colours (8- bit), you should set your colour mode to 256 colours (see Display problems). 7. Check your CD-ROM drive documentation to make sure that it is double-speed and MPC2- compatible.
