Go to Load Engine and move *all* engines to the Inactive box. Then click OK.
You'll probably get a message saying that Hiarcs won't respond when you move --
don't let this concern you. Go to Load Engine again and look in the lower box
after the words "Free RAM" -- this will give you the maximum hash table size on
your system. Then you can reload the engine of your choice after selecting the
hash table size you desire.
