Everytime that I open excel I get the message that my system is dangerously low on resources. My system locks up and I must reboot. I am running Windows 98 with all the latest updates and I have scanned for virus possibilities with Norton. I haveuninstalled & reinstalled excel to no avail. I have 128mb of ram and tried to run with 90% mem available. Has anyone seen this before.

I have seen similar, but on a very low spec PC. It was running short of Hard disk space and had no room to run the application in Primary Storage (RAM). I would check that you have enough free disk space to cope with the size of your pagefile otherwise you will get this error frequently..

I found the problem on anoter site. I deleted the file excel.xlb and that fixed it. I do not know the reason for it but it worked.
