In which case the program is almost certainly seriously in error. Win Me has
no reported memory "leaks" (with one rare exception, see below) but that
doesn't mean that an application you have doesn't have a memory leak. You do
however appear to be a little confused as you mention memory leak and seem to
think that this might be related to your problem which appears to be a
resource problem. Resources are not "memory" and are severely restricted in
all Win 9x operating systems and refer to two 64Kb stacks used by 16 bit
applications. Joan has already pointed you towards Jim Eshelman's site where
he explains the differences between memory and resources.
There is a very rare situation where (atmuni.sys) may leak memory where a NDIS
miniport driver disables ILMI but this only happens in very rare and quite
unusual circumstances (KB278368). If you have a problem with a particular
application having a memory leak you need to contact the application's vendor
for support and any updates that might be available. This problem effects all
Win 9x systems, not just Win Me. [Ref KB278368 - "Memory Leak in Atmuni.sys
in Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me"
