<<Using Win ME, HP 533MhZ Celeron, 64 mb memory
When opening a file which is just an organizational chart, a friend receives
a "out of memory" error.  Don't recall the size of the file, but since he's
just a local computer concepts student, I doubt it's of much size.

Could anyone give a "list" of possible problems?  What to check?>>

Using msconfig.exe, try turning everything off except Explorer and
Systray.  Then reboot and see if the problem is still there.  If it now
opens OK, it means that your friend has too much running in the background
at startup (a common fault).  64 Mb is the minimum for Win ME, and doesn't
leave much for running programs.  Only run what is absolutely essential.

Check also that the Hard drive has at least 200 Mb of free space---Virtual
Memory needs this to work properly, sometimes more with memory-intensive
programs and not much spare RAM.
