[comp.windows.ms] LOTUS 1-2-3 Rel 3.1 under Windows 3.0

ucoerp@swuts.swbt.com (1897] Robert Paster) (12/20/90)

HELP !!!!! I need some assistance, PLEASE!!!!!

I just loaded Windows 3.0 and Lotus 1-2-3 Release 3.1 won't run from
Windows. If I exit Windows, Lotus runs fine. I'm running on a 286
clone, with a 40 Mb hard drive, a VGA monitor, and 5Mb of Ram (1Mb on
the motherboard and 4Mb on a Parity Plus memory board). Each time I
"double click" on the Lotus icon on the desktop, the Lotus logo screen
comes up, and then a "not enough memory to run" message comes up. Then
I am returned to the Windows desktop.

I tried to change the 123.pif file to show only 128 Kb of memory needed,
but this had no effect.

Please let me know of any ideas you may have to correct this situation
at the address below.

Thanks a lot.

   Try contacting Lotus.  A colleague of mine was having a similar problem
(1-2-3 would run, but would only report a few K of free memory on a machine
with 5M installed), so she called Lotus tech support.  The tech support
person was very helpful and suggested several things you won't find anywhere
in the manuals, and she's managed to get 1-2-3 to see nearly 2M of the
memory so far.
