= SYMPTOMS =

If Works cannot start, you might receive the following error message:

Not enough memory to run OLE with Works. Try quitting other open applications, or reducing system memory requirements and restarting your computer.

= CAUSE =

This error may occur for one or more of the following reasons:

  Microsoft OLE Extension is not in the Extensions folder.   This message may occur while running Works on a machine using System 7.5 with the Microsoft OLE Extension version 2.04. Version 2.05 of the Microsoft OLE Extension resolves this problem. The latest version of the Microsoft OLE Extension is shipped with Microsoft Works 4.0b.   Insufficient memory Works and/or OLE may not have enough memory to run. Works requires at least 2100K of available memory to start, an additional 1 MB to use WordArt, and 4 extra MB to run with Bookshelf or Encarta.   Insufficient disk space Works requires some free disk space just to start. A minimum installation of Works takes 5 MB, and a full installation takes 16 MB. Some free disk space must be left after installation for correct operation and storage of documents.   Locked preferences files The Embedding Preferences and Registration Database files are both located in the Preferences folder. These files must be writable so that OLE can use them.   Microsoft OLE Extension is corrupted If this file is corrupted, Works cannot run OLE. 

NOTE: In Extensions Manager version 3.0, if the Sets menu is set to System 7.5 Only, the OLE extension will not be active.
