And I beg to differ with you here ;)

I run TMG on my Win95 with 64 Ram and then with 128 Ram and never
had any problem with TMG. I got a new machine with Win ME and had the
same programs on that one as I previously had with my WIN 95. I have
had
problems with TMG from the start using ME. TMG works fine as long as
it is the
first program started and never shut it down, if I however start
Outlook Express
or Explorer, then shut down TMG, and try to restart it, it froze up my
computer.
Now I have found out that must have to do with memory, even though I
was able
to free up memory and had 76 RAM available this happened.(the total I
had was 128).
After I got 256 RAM I have not had this problem.

One other problem I have had with TMG and ME is I am not able to make
a list
of people, and this problem I had with the 128 RAM and also with the
256 RAM.

None of these problems did I have with WIN 95. May be it is the size
of my base that
is partly the problem on the latter problem..

I did another check to see and transported both TMG and my large base
to another computer
running Win NT, and amazingly I had none of the problems there. List
of all people works fine,
even though that machine had only 65 RAM. No Problems with starting,
closing and restarting
TMG even though Outlook Express and Explorer was running.

As far as I can understand TMG with a large base does not run ok on
ME even with 256 RAM
(my base consists of 100.000 + people.), but there is no problem with
WIN NT and 64 Ram
or Win95 and 65 or 128 Ram.
