Works Suite 2001 "out of memory" error in XP

[Guest]

I have I upgraded to Windows XP Pro from ME on a Dell Dimension 4100 with 256
SDRAM and Pentium III, and now Works Database (wdb) will not print. I have
Microsoft Works Suite 2001. I can open a wdb application, edit, save etc,
but when I go to print, error message "out of memory" comes up, and I cannot
print. The Windows Support site is not helpful, the "Windows XP Application
Compatibility Update Oct 25, 2001 ( ID 308381)" cannot be located but alleges
to resolve compatibility issues between Works and XP. Anyone have any ideas?
Do I uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Works Suite 2001? How do I increase
the memory status for Works Datatbase? thanks.

A P3 with only 256 MB is marginal. It would run much better with 512...
"Out of memory" may mean that the pagefile is too small. How big is it?

Looks like a problem with the printer driver.
