you have when you start up your computer. Type mem at the prompt. DOS
displays your total memory and other information.

see your Windows User's Guide.
Low Disk Space
Check your temp directory for unnecessary files if you seem to be running
out of disk space too quickly. Files are stored here especially after a system
hang or crash. Usually the path to this directory is c:/temp. Type set at
the prompt in MS-DOS in order to find your temp directory if the path is
not in c:/temp.
Try to keep at least 20MB of free disk space available on the drive where
the temp files are stored.
You also can delete any conversion filter files you do not use. See
"Supported Output File Formats" on page 238 for a list of output file
formats and the conversion filter file associated with each one. The default
location of the conversion filter files is c:\omnipro.
Slow Operation
OCR can be a very time- and memory-intensive process, so the processing
power of your computer will determine the speed of processes. For
example, you will notice a significant speed improvement if you upgrade
from a 386 to a 486 or a Pentium.
OmniPage No Longer Works
If you have used OmniPage without difficulty in the past, you may have
altered your system configuration. Make sure that your scanner still works
with other software. If you have recently installed a new application, this
may be the cause. You may have to reinstall OmniPage. Be sure to save
your user dictionary (user.ud) before doing so.
Deleting *.set, *.trn, *.ud, *.zcn, and *.zon Files
You can delete these files from your hard drive to free up disk space or if
you no longer need them:
• Settings files (*.set)
• OCR training files (*.trn)
• User dictionary files (*.ud)
