[slinkelist] COM Error 80004003 - Error opening database

[James Glidewell]

I just found an old laptop that I am trying to use as a dedicated
CDJ machine. Everex ExpressNote Cyrix586/100/8mb RAM/800mb HD.

I installed:
Win95 SR2
Full Slinke install (092600 release)

When I try to run CDJ, it sees the slinke. I then run
"Add discs..." . When CDJ tries to store the first disc's
info, I get a COM error:

  COM Error 80004003 - Error opening database

and the CDJ gives an error about unable to write Library.

Since the initial failure, I have tried:

Download and install DCOM95 from the MS download site.

No luck.

Discard the user.mdb file and start again.

No luck.

Has anybody see the 80004003 error before? Any suggestions?

I suspect that 8mb might not be enough to run CDJ and whatever
"helper" processes (or extra memory allocation) that COM might
need to open a DB. But this stuff is pretty opaque to me.

Is anyone running CDJ on an 8mb system?

Is insufficient memory the problem? If so, any suggestions on stuff 
I might do to free up some system related memory?

Memory upgrades for this laptop _are_ available, but at a price
that will make my "bargain" laptop cease to be a bargain... :-(

Thanks for any help!
