Not enough memory or disk space was the error message when I tried excel.

I believe you will be successful
in initiating office normally again.

in regards to the page file, I
will elaborate a bit more on
the next posting.

First I tried holding the control button down and clicking on the word
shortcut and it asked me if I wanted to go into safe mode and clicked yes
then I got the error message, "There is not enough memory or disk space to
run word."

On the virtual memory tab, the custom size button is checked. The system
managed size and no paging file is not checked. Is that correct? I guess I
don't know how I could delete pagefile.sys? What did you mean by ensuring
that I have a pagefile set?

To clarify your recommendation, you want me to set the initial to 2, from
2046, and set the maximum to 3069, from 4092? Then reboot and see if it works?

ok, then here are a couple
of suggestions:

firstly, I would bring the
virtual memory down to
earth.

though I understand that
its current range was set
automatically, you can jot
these down for future reference.

however, at this time I think
it would be a good idea to
utilize the custom/fixed option.

set the initial to 2 and set the
max to 3069.

then reboot and try the normal
mode scenario again.

if fixing the vm didn't seem to
help, it will help with performance
in other areas.

but keep in mind, that it is
flexible and you can modify
the range later.

just keep in mind, not to delete
the pagefile.sys from the drive
and ensure you have a pagefile
set, otherwise the system will
stall on you.

the other suggestion is to try
starting word in safe mode.

the office safe mode as not
unlike the windows safe mode,
but this method runs in windows
normal mode.

hold the ctrl key while you click
on the word shortcut.

Thanks for your reply.

I have Windows XP Home Edition
Service pack 3
2.33 ghz
2.00 GB Ram

I previously did a disk cleanup and defrag, I also performed the detect and
repair, with no help.

I did as you suggested and went into safe mode, and Word, Excel, Powerpoint,
etc did come up and work.

I checked the virtual memory and here is what it said:

Virtual memory is already at custom.
Initial size 2046
maximum size 4092

Minimum allowed: 2mb
Recommended: 3069 mb
Currently allocated: 2046 mb

I did not make any changes because because I thought I only had 2 mb of ram
anyway.

Any suggestions or questions?

perhaps, you simply need
to do a little tune up on
your system.

you might try a cleanup
then a check disk and a
defrag.

to do the above, right click
on the drive and select properties.

the options will be on the
first and second tab, resp.

another thing to look into is
to double check your
virtual memory.

ensure you only have one and
instead of using auto, select
custom/fixed size instead.

set the initial size of 2 and
the max size will be recommended
at the bottom of that same virtual
memory window you're in.

incidentally, you should also
be able to run office via windows
safe mode, which is ascertained
by pressing the f8 key and selecting
the safe mode via the boot menu.

the above will be helpful to further
review the problem.

I all of a sudden cannot open any programs (excel, word, powerpoint) in
Office 2007, I get an error message saying not enough memory, or it says that
since it shut down incorrectly, it asks if I want to open in safe mode, then
won't let me. I uninstalled and reinstalled with same error message.
