You need to limit the amount of memory used as a virtual cache as with 1GB
installed you are exhausting all available upper memory addresses. For how to
deal with this problem please read on.

Win Me like all other Win 9x operating systems can support up to 2GB subject
to a number of a number of caveats and exceptions details of which are
contained in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles with the first
essential reading where more than 512MB of memory is installed. Note though
that many motherboards have a much lower limit as to the amount of memory that
can be installed.

For more details see:
MS KB 253912 - ""Out of Memory" Error Messages with Large Amounts of RAM
Installed" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=253912). The reason is that
allocating more than 512MB of RAM to vcache will exhaust all available upper
memory addresses and thus prevent them being used for other purposes. This
problem is easily fixed as follows:
To limit vcache, open system.ini and add the lines
[VCache]
MaxFileCache=512000
Note that this will still mean that all memory is available to applications
but is simply limiting the amount used as virtual cache memory.

MS KB 296773 - "Computer May Not Hibernate with More Than 192 MB of Memory"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=296773). This makes reference to an
updated file vmm.vxd. Contact Microsoft, explain the problem, and mention
296773 and you should be given details of how to obtain the patch and the
password of the day. Note that there should be no support charge for this
call other than for any telecom charges incurred in ringing Microsoft.

MS KB 304943 - "Computer May Reboot Continuously with More Than 1.5 GB of
RAM" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=304943).
