If your computer displays an "out of memory" alert when opening the MacDraw II or MacDraw Pro or when opening another document window, try the following.
DISCUSSION 1) (MacDraw II only) Go to the Control Panel and select Monitors. Set the number of available colors to 256 colors or less. MacDraw II will NOT run properly if the video card is set to "thousands" or "millions" of colors. If a document is opened using the Apple 8¥24 GC card set to millions of colors, you'll see horizontal lines through the document or a "Collision with stack heap" alert instead of the "out of memory alert". 2) If running System 7 or System 6 with MultiFinder, increase the Application memory size. To do this: - Quit MacDraw. Go to the Finder - Click ONCE on the MacDraw application icon (not a folder icon). - Select Get Info from the File menu, or press command-I - Change Application memory size (or Current Size) to the following (larger numbers may need to be entered to open large or multiple documents): - MacDraw II, 13" color monitor: at least 1300K - MacDraw II, 19" gray or color monitor: at least 2000K - MacDraw Pro 1.0, 19" gray or color monitor, 256 colors: at least 2500K - MacDraw Pro 1.0, 19" gray or color monitor, millions of colors: at least 3500K - MacDraw Pro 1.5, any monitor: will open at least one average size document with default RAM size of 2000K.However, with larger monitor and/or millions of colors setting, MacDraw Pro may turn off the screen buffer off unless you allocate more memory to the application. See the MacDraw Pro 1.5 New Features Guide for further information on the screen buffer. |
