I remember running Roots II in a 64KB environment
off a 5 1/4" floppy. Those were the days!
It seems that software bloat has caught up with
you. Check your newspaper's ads. Every Sunday
I check mine to see if there are any specials of
interest. Two years ago I bought 2 256MB memory
boards for less than $20USD each. Normally they
sell for 2-3 times that. Be careful to know what
type of memory you require. There are several
different types. I sold my old 2 128MB boards
for $20/pair.
Patricia,
If I were in your situation, I would go back to
v5 and ask for a refund. Or I would upgrade
my PC's memory, if I thought v6 was significantly
better for my situation.

From my experience, 224 meg of memory just isn't enough to run much of
anything. Your computer is probably using way over half of that just
to run the stuff that makes it work. Memory is inexpensive,
particularly if you order it from the internet. If you add 256 meg,
you will see an obvious improvement in what your computer can run plus
everything will run faster.

I'm also having big memory problems. I have 224 MB RAM, but to use
Legacy I have to shut down everything else and then go through CTRL +
ALT + DEL and shut down everything in there except the bare essentials.
Even if I just have a MS Word document running at the same time, it's
too much. Legacy will launch, but when I try to access the Name List a
message comes up saying I'm using 90% of my resources. Is this a fault
with my computer or is Legacy such a huge file I need more memory?
