The Mac OS is running out of memory even though you aren’t running any PC programs.
When sharing memory with the PC environment, the Macintosh allocates a
portion of its memory to the PC environment. Because of this, the Mac OS
may not be able to load all your system extensions, including the PC Setup
control panel.
If this problem occurs, try the following:
mAdd memory to the DOS-compatibility card, as described in Appendix B.
mDecrease the shared memory setting.
mRemove PowerTalk and QuickDraw GX from the Extensions folder inside
the System Folder.
mRemove any other system extensions you don’t need.
mChange the name of the PC Setup control panel to !PC Setup so that it
loads first.
Shared memory assigned to the PC environment isn’t available to the Mac OS
until you turn off the PC environment. If the previous suggestions don’t solve
your problem, click the Off button at the top of the PC Setup control panel
and restart the Macintosh.
