Insufficient Memory

There is not enough free memory available for the task you are trying to do.

If you are on a network, this message category can also mean you do not have access rights. Ask your system administrator whether you should use these instructions and whether you have the correct access rights.

Solution

  1. Make a note of any information on the screen about steps you may have to take.
  2. Cancel the current operation, close all application windows that do not need to be open, then try the task again.
  • If the message does not recur, you have solved the problem, and you can continue with your work.
  • If the message appears again, go to the next step.
  1. Exit Sage HRMS Payroll and Windows. At the system prompt, use the MEM /C command to tell you how much computer memory you have available.
  2. If you use Pervasive.SQL and the message indicates you cannot start Pervasive.SQL because of insufficient memory, you need to free conventional memory (below 1 MB) for Pervasive.SQL. See your operating system manual for instructions.
  3. If your AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains instructions to automatically start memory-resident applications when you turn on the machine, you can free up conventional memory by removing the instructions from the file. When you have finished editing AUTOEXEC.BAT, reset your computer by pressing the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys simultaneously.

To prevent insufficient memory conditions from recurring, you may need to install more memory.
