Trouble with Metafiles

        I wrote a program that uses metafiles to display graphics in a Windows
application.  My problem is this.  If I run the program off my hard drive, no
problem but as soon as I try running it off a floppy I get an out of memory
error prompting me to close one or more applications.  After closing my other
applications the program still gives me the same error.  My program is about
720K and uses 6 metafiles of about 65K each that are binded as resources using
the Borland resource workshop.           


This poses a real headache for me since I wish to distribute the program and be
able to run it off the floppy. When I included only 1 metafile in the program I
had no problem but as soon as I added the other 5 it bombs.  I could have the
program access the metafiles directly off the disk but this slows down the 
program considerably.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
