>I have a Mac LC with 10 meg of RAM (that's not the problem) >and I am running Word 5.0. Some times (approx 25% of the time) >when I start up the application it tells me that I am low or out of system >memory (and a "button" to quit). After quiting I try to run the >application again and no probs it runs. I have the same problem on a MacII with 8 Mb of RAM, System 7.0, and TuneUp 1.1.1. It doesn't seem to be related to how much memory is allocated for Word 5.0, especially since it happens before any documents have been opened. I think it is a System 7.0 problem, because I have only had it happened immediately after I booted the computer, before running any other applications. I think, that if any application is run then Word will start normally. I would be curious to hear any theories about this. Albert Gough, ag14@andrew.cmu.edu
