The PC Setup icon has a red slash through it at startup.
If PC Setup doesn’t have enough memory to allocate to the PC environment at startup time, it will turn itself off. Check the Memory control panel for disk cache and RAM disk sizes; the disk cache should be set no higher than 128K, and the RAM disk should be turned off (or have a small amount of memory allocated to it). Restart the Macintosh if you change either of these settings.
If these steps don’t correct the problem, throw away the PC Setup Prefs file in the Preferences folder within the System Folder and restart the Macintosh. Then use the PC Setup control panel to recreate your settings.

If you are sharing memory between the Macintosh and PC environments, the Mac OS may be using some of the RAM you requested for the PC environment. Turn off the RAM disk, if you’re using one, in the Memory control panel; then restart the Macintosh.
A PC program displays a message that it needs 540K to run, but you have 4 MB of memory allocated to the PC environment.
The message is referring to conventional memory. Most of the balance of the 4 MB of memory you assigned to the PC environment is used by the EMM386 memory management software. Configure your application program to use more extended memory and less conventional memory. You may also need to disable some device drivers or other software in your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to free up more conventional memory. See the section on managing memory in your DOS manual for more information.
