System Taking Too Much Memory

Hello Netters,

I'm having a problem with the system taking up too much memory, to the point
that I can't open up some programs like Microsoft Excel 2.2 or Adobe Illustra-
tor.  When running under Multifinder, I get a message the application can't be
open because the machine is out of memory.  With no other applications and 
4 Megs?  Be serious!!

Anyway, I'll give everyone the 411 on my situation.
From 
Finder:   160K
System:   2,077K (with Kermit loaded on Multifinder)
Inits:    DialogKeys, Easy Access, QuickFolder 2.0, QuickInit (for QuickMaail),
	  Radius MATH (for Radius II display), Suitcase.
Cdev's:   Gatekeeper, Color, General, II Display (for Radius II display))
	  Keyboard, Monitors, Mouse, QuicKeys, Sound, Startup Device, Vaccine v1
Machine:  IIcx, 6.0.3 system, 80 MB Hard Drive.

FYI, I've run Disinfectant and have Vaccine and Gatekeeper on at all times.  I
even run Disinfectant when I know no one has used my machine.

Also, 'Info' says the system is only 323k long.  I haven't added any DA's or 
fonts to the machine.  I run Suitcase.

If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.  I'd like to finally run MultiFinder in
peace (if that's at all possible).

Thanks in advance,

Matthew C.A. Scallon
