Under MultiFinder, DA's run under the System Heap.  Chances are, the system
heap could not expand.  If this is the case, there are two solutions:

o Use 'Heap Fixer' or 'Widgets' to expand your System heap.

<or>

o Hold down the option key while selecting the DA.  This will make the
  DA run in the current application heap.  (This is probably a better
  solution)


These two suggestions apply to DA's in general when running under MF only.
