Low Memory
Low memory can cause a number of problems, from persistent low-
memory error messages to system hangs. You need a minimum of 8MB
RAM for Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 and 12MB for Windows NT.
You also need at least a 4MB permanent swap file in Windows 3.1.
More memory is recommended if you run multiple applications.
Close Open Applications and Windows
You may receive out-of-memory error messages or find that OmniForm
works slowly and accesses the hard drive frequently. Try closing open
OmniForm windows and other applications to free up memory.
