Default Low memory error

To each his own.
One thing that pops out is "Norton".
Norton is a well known memory/system hog.
I wouldn't run it even if they held a gun to my head.
I'd have to say "Shoot me!"
Less problems that way.

I just reinstalled 98 SE on my dual boot (with XP) machine. Admittedly I'm
running "too much stuff", but all the same "stuff" runs in XP with no
problem.
First of all, it's a 2.4Ghz pentium 4 with a gig of memory (2-512's)
What starts:
NAV 2003, Zone Alarm, mproxy, Actiontec Phone Wizard, Skype.
What I start manually:
Old version of Eudora and ICQ 2001b
Often when I first boot, I'll get a blue screen that says memory is running
low and that Norton Autoprotect might not work. Then press any key and
everything works just fine for a few minutes; sometimes even for a couple
of hours. Then I start getting "system memory low" blue screen errors and
if I don't restart after the first one, I eventually get hung up.
I'm reasonably sure that it's related to the gig of memory and I can
remember in the past creating and editing lines like "MaxFileCache=?" in
the [386Enh] section of system.ini and having some success. I may have
gotten that information in this group but it had to have been 2 or 3 years
ago. I get all kind of conflicting information about it in Google.
So would someone here please recommend something for me to try?
I copied "MaxPhysPage=17FFF" from a system.ini file on another machine
running a similar dual boot system and it totally screwed *everything* up.
So I ditched that of course (everything was OK again when I took it out).
Ideas?
