When running under Multifinder, I get a message the application can't be open because the machine is out of memory. With no other applications and 4 Megs? Be serious!! Anyway, I'll give everyone the 411 on my situation. From Finder: 160K System: 2,077K (with Kermit loaded on Multifinder) Inits: DialogKeys, Easy Access, QuickFolder 2.0, QuickInit (for QuickMaail), Radius MATH (for Radius II display), Suitcase. Cdev's: Gatekeeper, Color, General, II Display (for Radius II display)) Keyboard, Monitors, Mouse, QuicKeys, Sound, Startup Device, Vaccine v1 Machine: IIcx, 6.0.3 system, 80 MB Hard Drive. FYI, I've run Disinfectant and have Vaccine and Gatekeeper on at all times. I even run Disinfectant when I know no one has used my machine. Also, 'Info' says the system is only 323k long. I haven't added any DA's or fonts to the machine. I run Suitcase. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to finally run MultiFinder in peace (if that's at all possible). Thanks in advance, Matthew C.A. Scallon scallon@cod.nosc.mil
