Many times when using MacPPP the error message:
The control panel "Config PPP" cannot
be used now because not enough memory
is available.
is encountered when our Web Browser launches a third or fourth helper
program. "Config PPP" is forced closed at this time by the Finder and when
we attempt to open it afterwards we are greeted by the error message:
Config PPP Error!
Opening Preferences
This program, "pppPrefFix", is an AppleScriptR application which was
inspired by a work around to this problem of Lofty Becker's. He found that
he could solve the problem of opening "Config PPP" being unable to open by
duplicating the PPP preference file, moving the old file out of the
preference folder, renaming the copy to the original's name, and then
opening "Config PPP".
By double clicking "pppPrefFix" you launch an AppleScriptR application
which automatically performs the above outline steps. You only need to make
sure that you have at least 200 kbytes of free RAM before double clicking.
This program requires system 7 or greater, the "AppleScriptTM" extension
installed and the extension "Finder Scripting Extension" installed or that
you have the runtime library "FinderLib" somewhere locatable with the
finder. You also should have ran "Config PPP" at least once before
attempting to use this program.
This version corrects the problem encountered with system 7.5.2.
