SYMPTOMS

You may experience out of memory errors when running Aldus PageMaker version 4.0 with Microsoft Windows even if other large applications run without error.

CAUSE

The most common reason for this problem is that the PageMaker installation procedure did not correctly assemble PM4.EXE due to low disk space. At least 9 megabytes of hard disk space is needed to install PageMaker if you install all the options.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, manually assemble the PM4.EXE file or reinstall PageMaker.

To reinstall PageMaker, follow these steps:
  1. Back up all PageMaker data files and delete PageMaker from the hard drive.
  2. Make sure that the hard drive has at least 9 megabytes of available space and is optimized.
  3. Start Windows in standard mode and install PageMaker. Starting Windows in standard mode ensures that a temporary swap file is not created; therefore, the maximum disk space will be available to PageMaker.
