Hi,

I'm running a DOS based application on Windows XP. Opening the program and navigating through the application menu's is not a problem. The brick wall I've hit is when I try to print within the DOS application. I get the following error message: "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY. Press Any Key to Continue".
I had Windows 7 installed on this same PC a couple of days ago and I was able to print. I've had to go back to Windows XP for other reasons and now I've hit this blocker. I've tried doing the same thing on another XP and vista machine and I get the same error.

Not sure if the following will assist:

------------- --------------------- -------------

If there is any other information that is required, let me know and I will get it.

Thanks

Try compatibility mode, or running under DOSBOX.
