SYMPTOMS
If you run Internet Explorer Setup on a computer with 8 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM), you may receive the following error message:

Note that the minimum listed requirement for Internet Explorer 4.0 and 4.01 with Windows 95 is 12 MB of RAM.

RESOLUTION
You may want to install more RAM in your computer. To work around this behavior, you can uninstall programs to remove entries in the registry.
