[Ifeffit] Fwd: athena - Win 98 and Win NT

[Norbert Weiher]

Ciao Brad,

for the NT machine it looks like enhancing the pagefile (rightclick on "my 
computer", settings, advanced, I think - or look in the windows help under 
"increase pagefile") does the trick. I had such messages before on NT 
machines. Increasing the virtual memory always helps...

Cheers,

Norbert
