Error Starting Program
You may receive the following error when you try to close a 32-bit
application, such as WordPad:

Insufficient memory to perform operation.
CAUSE
These errors occur when the virtual memory settings are too low. They
occur more often on systems with less than 8 megabytes (MB) of extended
memory available.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, increase the virtual memory settings. If the

amount of disk space reserved for extra memory. You can increase the
amount of hard disk space reserved for extra memory by performing the

MORE INFORMATION
The minimum recommended amount of hard disk space reserved for extra
memory is 5 MB. Windows 95 dynamically allocates available disk space for
use as extra memory when applications demand it.
