I'm going to go ahead and admit there's some voids of my knowledge about the classic macos. What I have is a quadra running System 7.5 who's system software is using over 33mb of 36 available and won't launch word citing not enough memory. it can't be too complicated. Is there too many extensions messing things up? How do you terminate programs that launch on start?
thanks

That sounds the usual for a system not running in 32bit mode.

Turn 32-bit addressing on in the memory control panel ( looks like http://vectronicsappleworld.com/collection/articlepics/maciisi/memory.jpg ) then reboot, and you should get all your RAM.
