SignWriting List October 24, 2000 Dear SW List: The SignWriter Computer Program needs low-level memory to run. Sometimes other software on your hard drive robs that low-level memory, not leaving any for SignWriter to use ;-( Here is what happens. You type "sw" to start SignWriter, and press "Enter". This message appears on your screen: "Not enough memory to run SignWriter". This problem happens frequently on computers that are hooked into a larger network. For example, at Gallaudet University, their computers usually are networked. Sometimes the networking software uses all the low-level memory, leaving no place for SignWriter. Here is a question I received today from Gallaudet: QUESTION: "Valerie - I can't get SW4.3 to work. I've unzipped it, and got the "not enough memory" message, changed it to DOS=LOW; nothing happens. Any advice?" ANSWER: Yes... There is a way around this problem. Let me teach you step-by-step with diagrams, and perhaps you can figure out what to do next. Everyone's computer is configured differently, so you may have to experiment a little. Watch for the next message to the SW List...I will post an answer with several .GIFs as illustrations... Write again later if you still have questions - don't feel shy - Everyone suffers from technical frustrations from time to time. I use tech support for other programs often....That is how I learned computers...I never went to a class. I learned by trial and error, by reading manuals, and best of all, calling tech support hotlines!! ;-) -- Val ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton Visit the SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org | ||||||||||||||||||||
