  <div class="attr SUMMARY">
If memory on a DOS/ Windows machine is configured improperly, or there is a driver conflict, the error message &quot;Not enough memory to run application, please close some applications and try again&quot; will appear.  One particular instance is this:<BR>
<BR>
Config.sys                                            Autoexec.bat<BR>
C:\\dos\\setver.exe                            Pcache<BR>
C:\\windows\\himem.sys                C:\\windows\\smartdrv.exe<BR>
dos=high                                              Prompt $p$g <BR>
files=10                                                  Set Mouse=C:\\mouse<BR>
stacks=9,256                                      c:\\mouse\\mouse.com <BR>
                                                                    Path ....<BR>
                                                                    Set temp=c:\\dos<BR>
<BR>
Removing the Pcache line in the Autoexec.bat, increasing files to 40, and adding a Buffers=20 line allowed ClarisWorks to run.</div>
