I'm looking for insight regarding the installation of the frontend for SAP version 4.6. As it stands, with only a few sessions open, certain PCs are consuming as much as 80% of their resources... these are PCs with 256mb RAM!

I have only 64 MB ram and still i can open three sessions easily..I say three as i have opened it and i believe it is easy to open all six sessions...i think it must be the problem with your operatng system or hard disk activity. What is ur os? is it win-95..mine is win-95. If it is win-95 u may try by refreshing the OS.

This only occurs with Dell OptiPlex GX110 model PCs. Dell has been unable to answer the big "why," so far. Our HP systems with 64 and even 32 megs work fine. All systems are Windows 95 and all have been refreshed several times.

so that points to one thing that this is DELL related problem only, i feel. I have found in my experience that in unsolved problems u should go step by step and use the process of elimination to locate the fault. Like u ask yrslef--> Are u having problems with all DELL computers? if yes then that makes the ground stronger against dell. I am not aware of the dell system but i am getting an idea that it has its own version of windows -95? if that is so then it will have a set of its own drivers or some files.. And probably these are clashing with sap 4.6 B files. If you have updates or patches from them please try them out.
You can tell them to look into this area and I suppose SAP also should help you in this regard. I cannot think of anything else.
thanks

Interesting. We are just now implementing SAP and our company lives by Dell PCs. I have a GX110. We are running into all sorts of FRONT.EXE crashes and such. Do you have issues with other Dell models?

Thanks,

So far all we have noted were issues with the 110s. What happens is that the memory drains and eventually you are left with few resources free. Strange things start to happen (lose graphics, sounds, etc). We have some GX1-500s and some CPiA laptops and none of these experience the same issues.
