Need Help with "Insufficient Memory" problem

[raydeo]

I've tried everything but a Hammer to fix this damn thing...When trying to load an app from my floppy(using win98SE) I keep getting the infamous "insuffcient memory" error message. System will not let me copy the floppy to the HD, as well. The drive is OK. Any thoughts(or better yet, Solutions???) Thanx in advance,

Well, how much memory do you actually have?

Have 256M system memory; My gut tells me this is related to the DOS "upper" memory situation. Read somewhere that the fix was some sort edit to some sort of....Note: can load apps from CD with no probs;only floppy loads are affected. Go Figure...

I hadn't seen an insufficient memory error in ten months with my current system until i was infected:| with the nimda virus. look at symantec.com

Just a thought.

Can you boot up in DOS and copy the files from a: to c: ??

Austinwilli: Good idea. Will try to do that. Pretty sure that I didn't get hit by that clever Nimda. Ran virus scans at TrendMicro with success. Whoever wrote that Nimbda creature was extremely clever. Thank God he(she) was not malicious...Thanx and Regards,
