Hello to all!
First day in the forum and the second question already... Sorry, folks!
I have a Macintosh 128K that seems to work fine with the following exception:
Once I am inserting the disc with Paint and I launch the program, the message "There is not enough room in memory for MacPaint" pops out systematically!
MacWrite and all the small other programs from the system discs work just fine. Just MacPaint is failing.
I do not have unfortunately any other program and/or diagnose software to allow me to easily check nothing...
My mechanical engineering approach (please do not laugh) was that maybe in my memory bank I have some chips dead and in this way low memory demanding SW would work fine but heavier ones not. I have no clue - just thinking loud!
There is anything I can check/perform in the machine with what I have today to narrow the search for the root cause?
I procured a second MacPaint with the hope I had a corrupted one but unfortunately the same failure mode arises...
Hoping to find some light at the end of the tunnel!
Let me know please if you have any suggestion.
Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards.
Chris.
