I want to start a software with a Microsoft Access database. It starts perfect with Vista, but when I try to start it it gives me those errors:

"not enough memory to start microsoft access"
"error in font initialization"

And then it says:
"can't start software. please, try again."

And it shuts down the software.

Can someone please help me and tell me where can be the problem? Thank you!

How much RAM in the XP machine? What version of Access? Are there fonts used by the application that are not on the XP machine?

The XP machine have:

2 GB RAM
Office 2007 installed
And all the fonts needed for the software to be started

The Vista machine have the same thing:

2 GB RAM
Office 2007 installed
And all the fonts needed for the software to be started

Well there is enough RAM. I would double check the fonts. Make sure any being used are not corrupted.

Do other Access apps load on the XP machine?
