Thanks! I was going to the command prompt and starting (trying to) from there. When I made a shortcut and set all memory options to 'Auto' it worked.

>This is a memory problem. You do not have the correct version of the overlay available. If you have less than 4 megs available (not total memory, but available to the largest executable) then use the first 2 below. If you have more than 4 megs available use the 3rd file. Some programs (like ours) will not run in non-extended mode so the user must have enough memory.

>With NT 4.0 you should be able to right click on the icon and make sure all the memory settings are set to "auto". If you are running from a MS-DOS prompt then make the changes on that Icon. If you don't have an icon on the desktop, left click on the start button, then left click on programs, then right click on the MS-DOS icon. (this is from memory, I am working on Win98 right now so I can't check this)
