Unfortunately, I do not know what exactly causes your problem. The program works nicely on my PC. There are few dialogs in the program, where mouse selection will not work (you have to use the keyboard). Now, what can you do to start the program... PL v1.3 is a DOS-based program, so try starting it in MS-DOS mode. The support for Extended (EMS), Expanded (XMS), and High (HMA) memory must be enabled either through appropriate drivers under MS-DOS or through settings under Windows. Which version of Windows do you use? How much physical memory do you have? (10 GB is your hard disk volume). Basically the program should also work under Windows (for me it does). If you have Windows 95/98, try right-clicking the file you start the program with, go to 'Properties' and try adjusting the settings for this file (especially under 'Memory' tab). Maybe other users would be kind enough to share their experiences. Sincerely, Nazar ******************** Dear members of the forum, I am not reading the forum messages regularly.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Dear List Members, This is regarding the problem of " Memory not available " alert window appearing when you run this program. Please right click the program name [ PrsrLt13 ] which is an application file, then find the Properties, then go to Memory tabs, in this you chane the settings ( most probably " Auto " ) to maximum figures like 16384. They should look like -: Conventional memory - auto Initial environment - auto EMS - 16384 XMS - 16384 DPMI - 16384 When I changed to these new settings after a few trial and errors, my program got started and I could enter new data, etc...generate charts, etc. I feel a few people jumped to conclusions of Virus and got panicky... PLEASE if a young boy has joyfully shared something which could be useful to needy ones, one should acknowledge, and not scare some people without finding out more info. Only because he has a download site in Russia does not indicate anything malefic. I can understand if this boy [Nazar] has developed feeling of isolation due to somebody accusing him of spreading virus. One should equip own PC with Anti-Virus program which is updated as often as possible, that's the best answer, I think. Best wishes, Ravindra Chunodkar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
