Q107411
--- The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Publisher for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a ---

SYMPTOMS

=
When trying to run Publisher 2.0, you may receive the error "Application Execution Error...insufficient memory to run this application" even if there appears to be plenty of memory and disk space and there is nothing obviously wrong with the basic configuration.

CAUSE

=
A corrupted DDEML.DLL file may cause this error. (Note that there may be other causes for this error; this is the only cause that has been confirmed.)

RESOLUTION

=
DDEML.DLL is a file that comes with Windows 3.1. After installation, it is located in the \\WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. If this file is not the correct file size and date, re-expand it from the Windows installation disks.

To determine the correct file size and date, refer to this table:
