SYMPTOMS
========

When you start the multimedia edition of Microsoft Golf version 2.0, you may
receive the following error message:

  You must have at least 8 megabytes for free disk space in order to run
  Microsoft Golf. Please free some space on your hard drive and try again.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs if you lack adequate free disk space to run Microsoft Golf.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem if you are using Windows 95, increase the amount of free
disk space so your system has at least 8 megabytes (MB) free.

temporary or permanent swap file to at least 8 MB. A permanent swap file is
recommended.

For more information about checking for free disk space or changing your swap
file, see your printed Windows documentation or online Help.
