put the parameter in your config.ora file

DYNAMIC_MEMORY=6144 this would allocate 6 Meg to SQLPME. (you can set this anywhere between 8KB to 15 Mb but I found that you don't get much return for values larger than 6Mb anyway)

Make sure you start Oracle before Windows. This way Windows will only grab whatever memory is left. I did this to enable me to run Excel thru Q+E to Oracle 6 and it worked fine.

you can read about this in appendix F of the DBA guide.

hope this helps
