Access 97 - system error, out of memory

[Sara]

I've been using Access 97 for database management in a
medical office for several years now and the company that
supports the database has not been able to correct errors
that occur during a conversion to updated Access
versions. They work solely in Access 97 and I therefore
must keep this version. So, I use a split on the cpu...
running Access 97 and xp... it's been working fine.
However, just recently, every time I open Access 97, I get
an 'out of memory' error. There os definately a lot of
memory and I've shut down almost everything and then tried
opening it. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the
program several times, but this does not work. Any
suggestions? Thank you.

Hi Sara,

SYMPTOMS
You receive an "Out of memory" error when you try to start Microsoft Access
on a computer that has 1 gigabyte (GB) or more of random access memory
(RAM).


RESOLUTION
To prevent the error, you can use either of the following methods:

Method 1

Run Access on a computer with less than 1 GB of RAM.

Method 2

Install the latest version of the Microsoft Jet Database Engine.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the Microsoft Jet
Database Engine version 3.0 and 3.5. This problem no longer occurs in
Microsoft Jet Database Engine version 3.51, which is available from
Microsoft Download Center.

For information on how to obtain Microsoft Jet Database Engine 3.51, please
