SignWriting List October 24, 2000 If this message appears on your screen, when you try to start SignWriter: "Not enough memory to run SignWriter". Then first do this: 1. Exit to Windows. 2. In Windows, go under Shut Down (as if you want to turn your computer off). 3. The Shut-Down Windows appears, giving you the following three options: ___Shut Down? (turn your computer off?) ___Restart Your Computer? (that really means...Restart in Windows?) ___Restart Your Computer in MS-DOS Mode? Choose the third one. This means that when your computer restarts, it never accesses Windows - it by-passes it. Sometimes that is enough to free up the Low-Level memory, since it is oftentimes Windows itself, that is using the Low Level memory. So once you start directly in MS-DOS, try to start SignWriter. If the program opens, you know that you cannot access the MS-DOS mode FROM Windows, but must restart DIRECTLY in MS-DOS, by-passing Windows completely. Please tell me if this works. If not, then creating the PIF file is the next choice, which is a little more complicated... Good luck with this! -- Val ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton Visit the SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org |
