Running low memory software on more ram.

by wayne . Updated 19 years, 12 months ago

I guess the question sounds weird but the actual idea is this;

We run a program that was designed to run on win98 with no more than 762mb ram or it loses functionality. It WILL work but certain hotkeys disappear and the undo function won’t work..

The System currently running it has 1gig of ram which means I can buy a 256mb stick and essentially downgrade the machine. This is fine but MORE ram is required for image processing etc. with the other software I use…
(I work in the sign industry)

I run the offending first program in compatability mode but wondered if there is a tool or something to force this program to use ONLY 762mb ram without cracking the cases and removing memory when I would rather have more anyway?

TIA

Wayne
