Old PhotoDeluxe won't run on XP machine

I have a version of PhotoDeluxe (2.0) that I have been using since I had Windows98. I have many images saved in it's format, I liked using it. I am now running Windows XP, I have run it on other XP machines. When I try to run it on my current machine I get an error "There is not enough memory (RAM) to launch PhotoDeluxe."

  I have tried, unsuccessfully to install updates (both 4.0 and 3.0) to no avail. What must I do to get a version of PhotoDeluxe running on my computer?

It looks like another user had the same difficulties back in 2007.  You might try the solution detailed in http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f159/photodeluxe-error-not-enough-ram-resolved-161902.html.  Apparently you will need to modify your virtual memory settings.

You might try right clicking on the PhotoDeluxe desktop shortcut and try one of the Compatibilty modes.

R_Kelly,

   Thanks, but I experienced the same problem in every  compatibility mode. Then I tried the Compatibility Wizzard.. . It didn't work either.

It sounds like you need to have more RAM on your computer. How much RAM does your computer have?

MichaelKazlow,

     My machine has 990 MB of RAM.

In fact the system is : Pentium Dual CPU T2310 @ 1.46GHz, 0.99GB of RAM, Physical Address Extension.

I have been using PhotoDeluxe since the '90s when it ran on a a machine with 96 MB of RAM running at a few hundred MHz.

What would prevent the program from reconizing the memory when I try to open it?
