Memory error

[furlman41]

I recently came across a problem with my VB6 program. The program was working fine in Win 98, NT & XP environments, but they I installed it onto another computer with Win 98 and ran into some major problems.

The program is a MDI application with many screens. On this certain computer, upon startup of the first screen, all of the images wouldn't load, and there seems to be memory errors if you played around in the program for a short period of time. If I tried to open any other program on the computer (such as IE6), I received the following message:
"There is not enough free memory to run this program. Quit one or more programs, and then try again."

Any suggestions on what could be the problem with this instance of the program?

What's the memory usage before and after you start the program?

Also - how many controls are loaded when you start the program? The Win9x operating systems has a limitation on the number of window handles that can be open at a time (each Form and Control consumes at least one)

Another possibility is there's another program consuming large amounts of RAM and/or system resources already running -- have you done a virus scan?

Is there a space issue with the hard drive on the problem machine?
