Your engine has the minimum memory needed to use the software. For
memory requirements, see the information that comes with the software.

Note:

If you have just installed an adapter or memory, you might have a

memory address conflict.

v

The software is designed to operate on your engine.

v

Other software works on your engine.

v

The software that you are using works on another system.

If you received any error messages when using the software program, see the
information that comes with the software for a description of the messages and
