Here's a problem.... I am online. I had just retrieved my email via Finder Mail. Yahoo Instant Messenger was up, and it said I had new mail at Yahoo... so I clicked on it. And it gave me an error message: "There is insufficient memory to complete this operation. Try closing some applications to free up some memory and try again."
Now, yIM should have called up iCab, my favorite browser. I had almost no applications up. My computer has 512MB of memory (513 with VM). The OS took up the most memory, nearly 35MB, and About This Computer says I have 454MB available. So what gives? Occasionally I get these inexplicable memory errors. Usually, though, it is Explorer that complains - or freezes (hence iCab, which is marginally better; it doesn't freeze nearly as often, though when it does it usually takes down OS 9.1 entirely, and I must force a restart). I called up iCab from the Apple Menu (an alias), and it started fine. I guess this is just a yIM glitch. Any thoughts? Why would yIM have this problem? Could it be my Internet control panel? Yesterday I noted that some other program claimed I had no browser set in the Internet control panel. But I checked and iCab was clearly marked as my browser. Perhaps iCab doesn't cooperate well with the Internet control panel? Has anyone else experienced these weirdnesses? t -- Signwave Finder Mail 0.5a - http://www.signwave.co.uk/ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
