R9 Not enough free memory

After install on 128 Meg machine, I got the message not enough free memory, so I upgraded to 320M, which leaves about 240 free, uninstalled and reinstalled R9. The message is not enough free memory to run Autosketch.exe, Cadtools.dll. This looks like a bug to me.

 

Hello

Your problem is not normal, therefore I would suspect something else is the
problem.

Firstly uninstall the program, restart the computer and install it again
with nothing else running.

Also if you do not have a antivirus program, get one, plus run adaware.

Then see how things go.

memory, so I upgraded to 320M, which leaves about 240 free, uninstalled and
reinstalled R9. The message is not enough free memory to run Autosketch.exe,
Cadtools.dll. This looks like a bug to me.

 

Thanks, I think this is a bug, I still get the same messages!!! I did a complete uninstall followed by a shutdown & restart, installed from CD with nothing else running. Adaware6 has been run recently as has Spybots&d and Norton antivirus is current. I have no reson to assume that there is a virus. I did notice that after the install from scratch, I was not asked to reboot as was the case on the first install. I believe there is something hanging around from the very first install, when there was only 128meg of memory on the machine. Now, I have 320 physical with about 250 free!!! M1not enough free for Sketch.exe, M2 not enough memory to run Cadtools.dll!! I will have to call support, if there is any.

 

This is not an AutoSketch bug. There is something sinister within your
Operating System causing the problem and/or conflict. You don't say what
your OS is.

If I were you, I would be re-formatting your machine.

No it's not sinister, it's just that I am dumm...Please withdraw my post, I just don't read well. My excuse is that I bought QuickCad, two weeks laterAutosketch replaced it so I got that and in the heat missed it... Autosketch 9 does not run on Win98!!! The cd clearly says for XP and 2000.

 

I agree with Ric on this - if you are running XP check out the WWW for
spybot problems - whilst it's a useful program it installs and overwrites
some XP system files and deletes others. I had similar problems trying to
install AS6 on a friends PC - it just would not install. He also had
problems installing other software, all after installing and running
spybot....

Check to see if you still have an autoexec.nt file

this might help:

Reply:
We had a similar problem with Spybot and an older program that was
DOS-based. Everytime we ran Spybot, it deleted the autoexece.nt file. Once
the file was recreated, the DOS program ran fine until the next Spybot scan.
Possible solutions:
1. The paid version of Spybot allows you to deselect a file from all
future scans.
2. Recreate autoexec.nt from directions in MS Knowledge Base and keep on
floppy. Copy and paste after each spybot scan.
Hope that helps!
