System 6.x: Ways to Change System Memory Configuration (1/95)


I have a Macintosh IIci with 4 MB of RAM that is crashing frequently when using Microsoft Excel 2.2. I called Microsoft and they told me I needed to increase the size of my System file's memory partition under MultiFinder. How do I do this??

There's only one of two memory allocation changes that Microsoft could be referring to:

1) The memory allocation for Excel

2) The memory allocation for Finder

We suggest that you try these options by using the Get Info dialog in the Finder. If neither of the above options work, you should perform a clean system install.
