You can’t start an application program or it quits unexpectedly. Or, when you try to open a program, you see a message that not enough memory is available.

One of the following is probably the cause:

mThe Macintosh ran out of memory.

Quit the programs that you have open and then open the program you want to use, or restart your Macintosh.

Use the Memory control panel to turn on virtual memory. For more

information on virtual memory, see the “Memory” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

mThe program needs more memory.

Use the program’s Info window to give it more memory. For more

information on increasing a program’s memory, see the “Memory” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

mThe program requires special hardware, such as a floating-point unit (FPU), and your computer doesn’t have the hardware installed.

Check the documentation that came with the program to find out if the program requires a Macintosh with special hardware, such as an FPU. Then check the Technical Information booklet that came with your Macintosh to find out if your computer is equipped with such special hardware, or if the hardware can be installed. Consult your Apple-authorized service provider for information on installing special hardware in your computer.
