If You're Having Problems (Of the CD Kind)
I tried my best to compile programs that work on most computers with the minimum system requirements. Alas,
your computer may differ, and some programs may not work properly for some reason.
The two likeliest problems are that you don�t have enough memory (RAM) for the programs you want to use, or you
have other programs running that are affecting installation or running of a program. If you get error messages like
Not enough memory or Setup cannot continue, try one or more of these methods and then try using the
software again:
- Turn off any anti-virus software that you have on your computer. Installers sometimes mimic
virus activity and may make your computer incorrectly believe that it is being infected by a virus.
- Close all running programs. The more programs you�re running, the less memory is
available to other programs. Installers also typically update files and programs. So if you keep other
programs running, installation may not work properly.
- Have your local computer store add more RAM to your computer. This is, admittedly, a drastic
and somewhat expensive step. However, if you have a Windows 95 PC, adding more memory can really help
the speed of your computer and allow more programs to run at the same time. This may include closing the CD
interface and running a product�s installation program from Windows Explorer.
