The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows NT 6.0
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95 7.0a
This article was previously published under Q121933 SYMPTOMS
When starting Word for Windows NT or Word for Windows 95, the following
error message may appear before the copyright screen:
There is not enough memory to run Word.
This problem does not occur in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows.
CAUSE
The CacheSize setting is set to something greater than 2047.
RESOLUTION
Change the CacheSize setting to a value less than or equal to 2047.
CacheSize sets the maximum amount of memory Word will use for caching
Word documents. This value can be increased for better performance.
The valid range for CacheSize is 64 to 2047. The default setting is 64.
The CacheSize value is expressed in kilobytes (KB); therefore, a setting of
2047 is just under 2 megabytes (MB).
