Help: Visual Basic Editor Not Loading Msg

[Ed Publishing]

I have Office 98 for the Mac, and this is the error message that comes up
every time I load it. I think there is some file that is out of place on my
computer and I found this glitch listed somewhere and did the fix it
directed me to do, but still the same problem. I have a Mac g3 and I am
running 9x system software. Here is the error message:

"The Visual Basic Editor could not be loaded. There may not be enough free
memory to load the libraries or files may have been deleted."

Then when the program starts to load I get this error message that keeps
popping up and I cannot use the program for more than a few min. and I
cannot save anything except as a txt file. Here is the error message:

"There is not enough memory to load the Microsoft Office 98 Microsoft Object
Transport shared library."

Can anyone help me figure out why the fix I did may not be working? It told
me to find files and delete certain ones, and there was a big list of things
that I should see in my system folder, etc. I have reinstalled the program
several times.

Help! I need to use the program today, so a response ASAP would be helpful!

I would try Removing the program, then reinstalling it. You have to
uninstall to actually fix anything.

I'm pretty sure that the Office 98 Remove Tool on the CD does not work
properly and you should download the updated one and run that. Then
reinstall.

General troubleshooting tips for word 98 are listed here:

But since you have been moving stuff around and the installation sounds
rather problematic, I think you should start fresh with a remove and
reinstall. You could try using the tip in the troubleshooting link above to
increase the memory, first, just in case that works.

Perhaps you are really out of memory. How much RAM is on the machine? How
much have you assigned to Excel? I have found that Excel performs best with
at least 80MB assigned. Is virtual memory turned on? It should be, and set
to 1MB more than the actual RAM size.
