Martin,

You should have enough memory on your machine, but I suspect that
Cellquest is not allocated enough on startup. On our machines, the
Cellquest install defaulted to a memory partition of 6000K, about 6MB.
You can try increasing this number to give you more usable space.

Please note that you need enough memory left over for the system
software and other applications you want running at the same time as
Cellquest. I suggest that you load Cellquest and any other apps you
want at the same time, then look at your memory usage. You can get
this by switching back to the finder, selecting the Apple menu, and
selecting "About this Macintosh." It will show you what each app is
using and how much space is free.

To increase the partition for Cellquest, exit Cellquest, then single
click on the Cellquest icon. Now go to the File menu and select "Get
Info." This will give you an information box containing, among other
goodies, the preferred size. Edit this number to increase it, and try
running Cellquest.

Good Luck,
