Access 97 and XP

[Guest]

I recently purchased a new computer and tried to install Access 97 on it.
When I boot up Access I get a "No memory" message, then a "System error,
close other programs, not enough memory" type message.

There is plenty of memory (1 g) and no prolem with the 250 g hard drive. I
have MS Office 2002 for Students and teachers on the computer.

I have XP SP2 on the old computer and everything worked well. All of the
other programs loaded into the new compuer, (Adobe products for computer
graphics), work well.

Any suggestions? Will upgrading to Access 2003 rectify? Why won't it work
when it did previously on the other computer? Why is the sky blue? (Just
kidding)

Access 97 needs update applied to correct a bug when the PC has 1 GB or more
of memory.
