"Out of Memory" Error on Computers with Compressed Drives
This article was previously published under Q132810
When you start a program on a computer that is using disk compression, you
may receive one of the following error messages:
- Out of memory
- There is not enough memory to perform this operation. Close unneeded
applications and then try the operation again.
If Windows 95/98 is installed on a compressed drive, the Setup program may
place the swap file on the host drive of the compressed drive. If the host
drive does not have enough free space, the swap file may not be able to
grow large enough to accommodate large programs.
If you are using a Microsoft compression program (DrvSpace or DblSpace),
the swap file can be safely placed on the compressed drive (assuming there
is enough free space on the compressed drive). If you are using a non-
Microsoft compression program, you must enlarge the host drive or move the
swap file to another uncompressed drive.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
