Memory Problems
Possible Solution
1. In Windows 3.1 and Windows NT, check the CONFIG.SYS file for the present memory
configuration, and edit the file using a text editor. In Windows 95, use the Device
Manager to check memory configuration.
2. The computer has run out of memory to run the application. Check the application
documentation to determine the memory requirements.
The memory modules may not be installed correctly. Check that the memory modules
have been installed correctly and that mixed EDO and FPM DRAM are in the correct bank,
then run the Configuration utility. (If the system contains mixed EDO and FPM DRAMs, the
EDO pair is one bank and the FPM pair is another bank.)
1. Too many Terminate and Stay Resident programs (TSRs) are installed. Delete any
unnecessary TSRs.
2. The computer has run out of memory for the application. Check the memory
requirements for the application or add more memory to the computer.
