need help.

my user is using a win98 notebook with 128MB RAM.

whenever login to domain and double click on any excel files, the system will hangs with error,' the system is dangerously low in resources'.

however this is not the case when different users logged into the system and when not loggin in to the domain.

have tried reinstalling the Office but doesn't help.

Check for execessive startup programs and memory hogs that load only in that user's profile. You may want to consider creating a fresh user profile for that user.

I had this once and it was due to a corrupted file during installation. To correct it properly, I had to download the Eraser and Regclean utilities from Microsofts website. Then I did a reinstall with a different set of media and it worked fine. Good luck..

While logging in to the domain, it looks as if some server resources are being used BY EXCEL! Look for OSA shortcuts for example and NO-OP it.

It's debatable, but one view is to ensure that all apps (EXCEL in this case) load only off the client. This is probably more difficult to manage but you will get less calls for trivial problems.

Hope this helps.
