----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, version 4.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
If Works cannot start, you might receive the following error message:
 
  Not enough memory to run OLE with Works. Try quitting other open
  applications, or reducing system memory requirements and restarting your
  computer.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This error may occur for one or more of the following reasons:
 
 - Microsoft OLE Extension is not in the Extensions folder.
 
 - This message may occur while running Works on a machine using System
   7.5 with the Microsoft OLE Extension version 2.04. Version 2.05 of the
   Microsoft OLE Extension resolves this problem. The latest version of the
   Microsoft OLE Extension is shipped with Microsoft Works 4.0b.
 
 - Insufficient memory
 
   Works and/or OLE may not have enough memory to run. Works requires
   at least 2100K of available memory to start, an additional 1 MB to
   use WordArt, and 4 extra MB to run with Bookshelf or Encarta.
 
 - Insufficient disk space
 
   Works requires some free disk space just to start. A minimum
   installation of Works takes 5 MB, and a full installation
   takes 16 MB. Some free disk space must be left after
   installation for correct operation and storage of documents.
 
 - Locked preferences files
 
   The Embedding Preferences and Registration Database files are both
   located in the Preferences folder. These files must be writable
   so that OLE can use them.
 
 - Microsoft OLE Extension is corrupted
 
   If this file is corrupted, Works cannot run OLE.
 
NOTE: In Extensions Manager version 3.0, if the Sets menu is set to System
7.5 Only, the OLE extension will not be active.
