Not Enough Memory Error Message

Problem

getting message "not enough memory to complete that command" when using BidMagic Construction Estimating Software

Diagnosis

Despite the message, this is USUALLY NOT A MEMORY PROBLEM. It is either a new bug, or some kind of hardware/software incompatibility.

Solution

To solve:
1. See if you can duplicate it on your machine after following exact same steps as customer. If you can, it's a bug of some kind and needs to be fixed. Tell user we'll fix as soon as possible, and send them latest disks.
2. If you cannot duplicate it- it's probably some kind of system hard/soft conflict. Restart with extensions off, reinstall BM, then run it and see if it happens again. Are they running disk-compression software? BM will not run correctly if compressed. Usual bag of tricks.

NOTE-- We retired BidMagic estimating software back in 2002, and replaced with Goldenseal-- which is integrated estimating software and project management software (plus optional accounting software).
