Hi!

I'm having a problem doing anything on my Mac IIci( running 7.5.5

When I boot up and chhose a file to work on I get an pop-up message saying that there is not enough memory to open my main application Quark Express. The message says 10,000k needed, 2,900k available.

My application menue only shows FINDER
There are only 3 applications: Adobe Photoshop, Quark, Simple Text.
The desktop shows 74.2 MB in Disk; 157.7MB available
In the Control Panel / Memory shows
Cache Size = 32 K ( the lowest
Virtual Memory (on); Availablke on Disk 157m; avail built-in 20m

What can I do?:(

You can try clicking the QuarkXpress application icon once. Choose File > Get Info from the menu. Increase the amount of memory in the two fields you see there. They are in kilobytes so multiply by 1024 for MB. For instance if you wish to increase it by 5MB. 5 times 1024 = 5120KB.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you that 20mb of RAM and an 200MB hard drive is very tiny by today's standards. It's like a drop of water in the ocean of modern computers. And depending upon what version of Xpress you are trying to run it may simply not run on that machine. I believe Xpress 4 requires System 7.6 or greater, maybe even 8.6. It's been 12 - 15 years so it's difficult to recall.
