Encarta is running with less than the suggested memory (listed in the Get Info
box for the Encarta 97 Encyclopedia icon). The suggested size is a number that

==========

Optimize your computer's memory configuration and System memory usage so that
Encarta 97 is able to run with the preferred amount of memory.
