Low Memory Problems - Windows 95

Problem: While operating VersaForm under Windows 95 the customer is getting insufficient memory messages.

Cause: As various functions are performed in VersaForm the memory needed is released.  However this process tends to "fragment" the memory leaving smaller and smaller blocks of memory available.

Solution: Returning to the Main Menu generally releases a lot of the fragmented memory. Another option is to exit VersaForm and re-start the program.

In Windows 95 the amount of memory allocated to a DOS program (like VersaForm) can be allocated.

Keystrokes: From the Windows 95 Desktop:

Locate the VersaForm shortcut icon

Use the RIGHT mouse button to click on the icon.

A menu will appear. Use the LEFT mouse button to click on "properties".

Click on the tab that says "Memory".

In this dialog box the top section is titled "Conventional Memory"

In the "Total" box click on the down arrow and select "640". Leave the "Initial Environment" at "auto".

Click on "OK".
