Re: "Out of environment space" error



By the way, what this actually mean?

>>I have set the properties for auto memory and also
> >4096 with no difference.

I am not aware of properties for auto memory and 4096?  Can you please
enlighten me on this?  Am I missing something on my NT?
Is this something you installed from a shareware or freeware?  If so, it
might very well be a culprit for your problems.

Regards
Suhaib
