When Running my VB6 app, the users oftne get Out of Memory errors, mostly on W98, even with > 200MB of ram installed.

This typically happens when they run the app with Outlook, and/or Powerpoint open at the same time, often with several full screen images pasted into powerpoint. I usually tell the users to close Outlook and Powerpoint, when running the VB app, but they need powerpoint open to create reports from the screenshots they have taken from my program.

It's well-known that Microsoft apps are memory hogs, and are often leaky, not to mention VB itself.

But I don't understand why W98's VM doesn't kick in, and prevent the out of memory errors. Is the Vm in W98 broken ?
