     Hi Wes,
     96 meg !?!, are you running a TX type motherboard ?
     14 meg diskcache !?!, is that for a fat format drive ?
     or the cache command in config.sys ?
     cache would only allow me 4 meg max !?!
     At the time I got the out of memory error message I was only trying to 
     access the system object to see the display properties.
     I'm using 32mb ram and 850mb which is partitioned into 3, 
250mb,60mb,500mb.
     The 60mb partition is the swap drive.
     Thanks
     Glenn.
