I have a hunch that what is causing your problem is your version of Windows
95. The version number indicates that you have the original Windows 95
without the Service Pack Update 1, or susequent Kernel32 Update and
OLE32 Update patches installed. Without doing these things there are
several bugs in the way Windows 95 handles memory.
go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/info/updates.htm and click on
Service Packs to get the Service Pack. Click System Updates to get to the
other patches
