Virtual PC - won't give me any memory!

I downloaded Virtual PC to add a W98 system. It started to install the
operating system, but told me I only had 4MB of RAM and needed 16MB. (I have
512MB on the computer). I tried to increase the RAM, but it said the
recommended was 0mb, and wouldn't let me increase it.
I deleted it and started over. When I told it it was for W98 it said it
would use 64MB, but when it actually added it, it was still 0MB, and won't
let me change it.

Any help here would be appreciated.
 
do not believe you can run it with only 512mb of memory on the computer. expand it up to 1gb and try it again.

No, the website says that it will run W98 as guest with as little as 64mb. It will run XP as guest with 512mb.
So that's not the problem.

Found your answer BTW, you need 512MB for the host PC, and additional RAM
for the guest depending on which OS, in your case, at least 64MB for Windows
98, if you want to allocate 128MB for Windows 98, you'd need 640MB total in
the host PC.
