When you attempt to record a movie using Microsoft Camcorder 97, you may
receive the following error message:
There may not be enough memory available (0K) to record this movie.
Close other programs to make more memory available. If the problem
persists, lower the screen resolution or the number of colors you
monitor shows. Record the movie now?

Microsoft Camcorder requires a minimum amount of random access memory (RAM)
to guarantee that it completely captures the contents on the screen. If the
amount of RAM is below the minimum required amount, the alert message
appears. This message is only a warning and should not be misinterpreted as
a system or program error. Despite receiving the message you can continue
recording. In most cases Camcorder continues to record and play back every
event as expected.

To work around this problem, reduce the screen resolution and color depth.
To avoid the alert, Microsoft recommends that you close all programs, start
Camcorder, and then open the programs as you need them. After clicking Yes
in the message dialog box, the alert message does not appear again in the
current session of Camcorder.
