You BOUGHT Multifinder!!! From who?  Multifinder is included as
part of the system software with new Mac's and can and should
be distributed free by any authorized dealer (at least...).

You need to ensure that your Mac has enough memory.
SoftPC XT requires a 1760K partition; the AT version needs 3000K.
If you have enough RAM, check the Get Info box for SoftPC in the
Finder and make sure that the 'Application Memory Size' is as large
as the 'Suggested Memory Size'.
