SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following error message when you try to start Windows
95:
Insufficient memory to initialize Windows. Quit one or more memory-
resident programs or remove unnecessary utilities from your Config.sys
and Autoexec.bat files, and restart your computer.
CAUSE
This error can occur in a low-memory situation caused by real-mode drivers
loaded in memory, or when the hard disk containing the swap file is low on
free space.
RESOLUTION
Remove unnecessary drivers from the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files,
restart your computer, and then try to start Windows 95 again. If this
does not work, try freeing up three or more megabytes of space on the
hard disk containing the swap file.
