Hey guys, I got a Pentium-III 933 Mhz with 128 MB SDRAM PC when i try to open a 473 MB file it says "Program too big to fit into memory!" I dunno why is it giving the error but it comes up as an DOS pop-up saying the error! I hope you can help me in this issue.
regards, nsrd P.S:I got no virus infections in my comp and the file has no virus whn scanned under norton!

The reason that it is saying the program is too big to fit into memory is because it is an ISO, a cd image that will not run unless you burn it to cd as an image

If it were an iso file it would ask what program to open with, not open in a dos box and give that error. The file is corupted so you'll have to redownload it.
Try this I bet you get the same error. Make a copy of the Xp calculator on the desktop, it's in the system32 folder named calc.exe Now open notepad and drag the copy of calc.exe into notepad and add some extra spaces. Save the file and try to run it.
