When you receive an "Out of Memory" error from a Windows application, it
means that the application couldn't allocate enough VIRTUAL memory.  The
amount of virtual memory that can be allocated is mostly dependent on the
size of the pagefile; the physical RAM essentially acts as a cache for the
on-disk memory pages.

If your application is exhausting virtual memory, it means that

    - You are managing VM yourself and have specified a pagefile size which
      is too small, or
    - You are letting Windows manage VM, and it is unable to dynamically
      grow the pagefile beyond a certain point

Windows might not be able to dynamically grow the pagefile if your C: drive
size is too small, or the Solaris partition in which it resides is too full.

I'd suggest that you look at the VM settings on a PC where the application
works, make note of them, and then try setting up SunPCi with the same 
settings and see if this problem goes away.

There is a procedure for installing the Banyan Vines client for Win95 in
the SunPCi FAQ on Onestop.
