Another Jasc/Corel Problem
|
|
| Sharon 2004-12-28, 4:15 am |
| My husband just bought me the upgrade to PSP 9 and along with it Paint
Shop Photo Album 5....at Jasc's suggestion. PSP 9 installed just fine
but I am unable to complete the installation for Photo Album 5. It
stalls each and every time when it gets to the point of removing backup
files. My computer doesn't freeze but the installation won't continue.
When I try to do a control/alt/delete to exit I get a message saying "
The system is dangerously low in resources. Would you like to terminate
the following application? Pspa(not responding)." However I close other
applications before attempting the install, I have 256MB Ram, and 23.7GB
of free space on my computer. I am using Win98SE. I am trying to install
this from a CD. I tried installing the full version and also only a
minimum version...every time with the same results. I have contacted
Jasc (Corel) who promised to get back to me within 24 hours, which
hasn't happened. Meanwhile I have a program I can't install. I am not
happy with Jasc.

Hi Sharon. That "dangerously low on resources" message is probably
correct. Win98 contains some fixed-size sections of memory that can
get filled long before physical memory or disk space. Every running
program uses some of this, and some programs are not careful to
return it when exiting.
Try restarting Windows with no start-up programs, which can eat up a
surprising amount of memory. To disable start-up programs
temporarily, Start > Run > msconfig > Startup. Un-check most or all
of the programs listed there. After your installation, do not forget
to come back and re-enable them.
A spyware scan with Ad-Aware and another with Spybot Search and
Destroy would be good. Both free, between them they are quite
thorough.
As you know, 256 MB is the minimum requirement for PSP. Expect
minimum performance from it. More memory will make a dramatic
improvement, although it may be better to replace such an old
computer than to upgrade it. (Another topic, I know!)
The tech support people do not work on weekends. I suggest you call
today, even though they will have a backlog from the long weekend.
Some interactive conversation with them will probably do better than
we can here.

Hi Fred,
I have done everything you suggested already except disabling all start
up programs, so I will try that next. I did close everything running in
the background except for explorer and systray. I also ran Ad-Aware and
Spybot, ran HDValet, ran the disk defragmenter, etc. I also tried doing
a minimum install with just the basics but that didn't help either.
Thanks for your input.

You are doing all the right things. After that, tech support is the
way to go. AFAIK, PA5 runs well, if slowly, in 256 MB, so they
should be able to work with you to find the problem. Please let us
know what you find. It may be useful to someone else some day.

It might be worth trying the Zap Jasc utility
(http://www1.jasc.com/pub/ZapJasc.exe) to clean out the remnants of the
failed install before you try again. Pick PSPA 5 from the left hand list
and tick all four items on the right.
After that restart the computer, close everything except systray and
explorer like you did before, and check that your antivirus has been
stopped as well.

Hey, Tim! Tim K and I are having fun sharing graphics! Maybe after you
get done explaining to the 10,000 person, how to get PSP-8 & 9 running,
you can join us!!!!!

I tried the Zap Jasc utility as you suggested but it didn't help. I had
already uninstalled Photo Album using the uninstall utility on the disk.
The Zap Jasc utility said that there were no more files to uninstall. I
finally hear from Corel. Their response was:
"You can choose to clean your system temp directory. Please follow the
instructions below to resolve this issue.
1. Double click the My Computer icon
2. Double click the C: Drive icon (or the drive that contains the
Windows system files)
3. Double click the Windows folder.
4. Now locate the folder named Temp (do not double click this folder)
5. Once you have found the Temp folder, click with the RIGHT mouse
button and choose Rename, rename the folder to something like TempOLD
and strike Enter on the keyboard.
6. Once this folder has been renamed, RIGHT mouse button click on an
empty part of the window.
7. From the menu that pops out choose New>>Folder
Name this folder Temp and strike Enter on the Keyboard.
Now attempt to install the software/update again."
Needless to say that didn't work either. The installation stalled at the
same point again. I'm wondering if there are some corrupt files on the disk?

That would seem an unlikely cause of a "low on resources" error
message, but I suppose it is possible.
A far-out thought: could part of your 256 MB memory have died,
leaving you with 128 MB? Right-click My Computer, select Properties,
and look for the reported memory size on the General tab.
Can you borrow time on another machine to try an installation, just
to verify the CD? PSP un-installs cleanly.

Fred,
I had already checked my memory and also checked resources before the
attempted install. Memory was 256MB and resources were at 92%(after
closing everything but explorer & systray). Trying to install it on
another machine was my next thought. I will try to do that later today.
This is the first time I have been completely unable to install a
program and it is driving me crazy!

Yeah, I know, but you are still writing coherently (grin). We really
need a Win 98 guru, if they have not all died off, to explain those
reserved parts of memory called system resources, what uses them,
and how to conserve them. When you go to Win XP you will be free of
that hassle, at least.
The advice that tech support gave you was good generic advice for
your situation. If you decide to pursue it further with them, ask
for a Win 98 guru. It can't hurt.

Could be that you either have a corrupt swapfile, or one that is a set size.
Do you know if your swapfile is set to let Windows control it? Or is it set
to use min. and max. values?

| Part of the Win95/98 problem was multi-tasking and threads. They weren't true multitasking systems. Nor did they run
applications in their own address space. FAT32. Built on top of DOS. The list goes on and on and on as to the
inadequacies of non NT Windows OS's. Written over seven years ago. Unprotected Kernel.
The advantage is they can be run on low end old machines. But that brings up other hardware issues.

| In Win98 don't confuse resources with memory. System Resources are divided into three camps.
User Resources
GDI Resources
Kernel
User handles keyboard, mouse, sound, timer functions, communications ports (network card, printer) etc. This is
resource is limited by Win9.x systems to 64KB. Yes that's kilobytes not MB.
GDI handles graphics primitives, bitmaps, etc that appear on your monitor and printer. It too is limited to 64KB. NOTE:
FONTS are handles here.
Resource management in Win9X does provide for a way to exceed this.
The reason for this 64KB limit was to maintain backward compatibility for 16bit DOS and Win 3.1 programs.
Herein lies the crux of the problem.
Win9x systems will not release 16 bit resource memory until ALL 16 bit programs have shut down.
There is also a thunking issue with 16 bit programs and Win9x OS's.
With all that said here a few things you can try to free up your resources prior to install.
Don't run any 16bit apps or services that you absolutely do not need.
Uninstall fonts you don't use.
Lower your monitors resolution - often times just doing this for the install will get the job done and you can return to
a higher resolution when you're done with he install.
That's all I remember from about 6 years ago - the last time I used Win9x.

A couple of things that might be worth trying...
Copy the installation files to the harddrive (maybe in a folder on the
desktop) and install from there.
If that doesn't work, restart Windows in safe mode (press F8 during
start up and select Safe Mode) and install using the files copied to the
hard drive.

I haven't looked at that for a long time so I just did. Mine is set to
let me manage the size. It is set to 512 for both. I can't remember when
it was set that way or why. Should it be set to something else?

I already tried copying the installation files to the hard drive and
installing from there, but that didn't work either. I haven't tried
doing that in Safe Mode though. My Optical mouse won't work in safe mode
though so I'll have to try to round up an old mouse. :-

Well, you will find plenty of opinion in both camps of that issue, so not
something I care to get into here, in a PSP newsgroup. But might be worth
trying tho...since nothing else has worked for your situation. Set it to
let Windows manage, reboot, then try your install. If it still fails, then
you can always set it back again and mark this one down on your 'things
tried that didn't work' list. :-)
