Pstyler SE (old win 3.1 program)

I have Photoshop 5.5 Professional and don't much care for it. I always used Photostyler 2.0 SE to edit pictures. This is an old Win 3.1 program, But I know all the shortcuts and like to use it for a quick fix.
I recently upgraded from 256 MB ram to 1 Gig ram and now, my trusty ol' Pstyler don't work anymore. It says failed to initialize.
Anyone know of a fix for something like this? Like a line added in an ini file or something? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

When you upgraded from 256MB to 1Gig of RAM, did you remember to add the required Micro$oft "fix" in your SYSTEM.INI file?

Yeah, sorta. I put: [vcache] MinFileCache=125000 MaxFileCache=250000
Computer seems to work ok like that. But, I changed it to MaxFileCache=524288 then re-installed Pstyler 2.0 and still got the error. I am pretty sure the problem is that it is a Win 3.1 program and just can't handle it. Guess I will just have to learn to live with Photoshop. I do appreciate your help though. It's people like you that keeps this place going.
