Do you know Works and the error no more memory?

Post by **Chroelle** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 12:36

Well me and a colleague are doing some works work, with registrering new kids that joins the school after the holiday is over and everytime we try to print it says NO MORE MEMORY. The computer is a month and a half old, so it can't be that one acting up, and it shows as a Works error not a Microsoft windows one...

Anyone has any ideas?

The database is not that big. Has about 300 items with 6 fields to each.

I am currently on vacation from work, so I cannot seem to get that version number of works. But I know it is XP SP2.

Do you remembe at least if this is Microsoft Works or Lotus Works ?
(I've just offered my brother the Lotus one to run it on his old computer.)

This "out of memory" error message sounds like you're trying to open a huge document (with lots of pictures) and you hav not enough memory to perform such operation.

Note :
Windows XP requires 256 MB of RAM when running alone "as is", right after a clean install.
That is to say if you install any additional software, then you'll need additional RAM in order to make Windows run smooth and to avoid memory error messages... because Win XP has spreaded on the first 256 MB of RAM

Oh but I am pretty sure it has alot of RAM, since we bought a brand new PC for lots of cash, and this was shortly after. And we bought it in May last year I think. So I would imagine there to be lots of RAM, even though I cannot remember how much.

Also It is microsoft works.

Works 9 SE
Works Suite version 2002

When you print it creates a "picture" of the thing you want to print. Check your free memory with task manager before you try to print to check the amount of free memory in the system. It could help to know what printer you are using.

I was just working on a customer laptop and saw something similar: The customer has Works 8.0 installed. I downloaded the recently issued security patch, and when I tried to run it, the installer claimed there wasn't any disks with about 250 MB free. I checked drive C, and there was still about 30 GB free! Anyone know what the deal with this is? It's not a major problem to me, as the customer is leaning towards installing Office anyway, and I am holding the machine till she makes up her mind on that, but in case she wants Works, I do want to install that security update.
