access 97.out of memory error..help. tia

trying to get some old stuff off an old database.
installed access 97,yes access 97. on a W2K, update4 machine with 500mg ram.
ALL other programs run great.
i get: 'out of memory' "A system error occured., or there isnt enough
free memory. To start ms access close unneeded programs and try again."
is this a 16bit application problem?
the app wont get passed the opening icon.

it does run on much smaller ram machines.
anybody can offer any suggestions? id be very greatful for your
wisdom, as i need the data stored on it.
thanks all...hippo
