Peak software won’t launch

Is Virtual Memory turned on? Peak will not run if Virtual Memory is on. To turn Virtual Memory off, open the Memory Control Panel and turn it off. Then restart your computer.If you have a 68030 or 68040 Macintosh, make sure it’s running in 32-bit mode.Does your Macintosh have enough RAM to run Peak? If you have a Power Macintosh, you must have at least 16MB of RAM. If you have a 68040- or 68030-based Macintosh you must have at least 8MB of RAM. To find out how much memory your Macintosh has, choose About This Macintosh in the Finder’s Apple Menu. A window will appear telling you how much memory is currently installed in your computer. If you have less than the amount required to run Peak, you will have to install additional RAM in your computer.Always leave about 300-500K free for the Sound Manager to allocate sound channels, and for libraries to link. This means that you should set Peak’s application RAM in the Get Info window from the Finder to approximately 500K less than the total free RAM reported in the “About This Macintosh” window in the Finder’s Apple menu. For instance, if your Macintosh has 8 MB free in the “About This Macintosh” Dialog, you can set Peak’s application RAM up to 7.7 MB in Peak’s “Get Info…” window from the Finder.Is Macintosh System Software version 7.1 or later installed on your computer? If not, you may need to purchase and install the most current version of the Macintosh Operating System Software in order to run Peak.Is Sound Manager version 3.0 or later installed on your Macintosh? If not, you must install this Macintosh System software in order to use Peak. (Note: Sound Manager is automatically included in System 7.5.)Is QuickTime 2.5 or later installed on your Macintosh?
