Run-Time Error 7 - Out Of Memory can mean many different things in Win95/98. It is a tricky error to diagnose simply because it can be caused by so many different reasons.

Without getting too technical, Win95 uses 2 basic types of memory. The first type of memory is known as RAM, & it is usually installed in today's PCs in quantities of 16 MB. RAM is the amount of physical memory installed on the system, usually 16, 32, 48, 64, 128
& so on. This type of memory, even if installed in great quantities, usually is not enough. To overcome this, PC's uses what is called Virtual Memory. This type of memory is actually stored on your hard drive. Win95 uses a technique called Dynamic Allocation,which automatically takes a section of your hard drive & uses it to store temp data. When there is not enough physical memory, the system automatically uses virtual memory. If there is not enough free space on your hard drive, you might get this error, or if you
have changed the virtual memory management settings from letting Win95 automatically control the size of the swap file, to setting these limits yourself. Either way, the problem may be that the software does not know if it is a physical RAM problem or a virtual hard drive memory problem.
