I probably should know this, but how do I increase memory allocated to the OS?
The OS doesn't have a fixed memory allocation the way apps do [in OS 9]: it grabs more as and when needed. I don't know what the cause of your shutdowns is, but that's not the fix.
Judith is not running OS X, she's running OS 9 as she indicated in her post.
Which is why I made it clear I was talking about OS 9, in the parenthesis above.
One CAN allocate more RAM to the Finder in OS 9,
How? Just did Get Info on the Finder, and General Information is the only option.
but I agee with you that this is not the real problem. The problem is most likely that she's got something in her system that has a memory leak and is stealing RAM the longer it's left open. It's also possible that one of her RAM chips has gone bad.
Maybe so. I just didn't want her to waste time chasing a false lead.
