Ms Office Excel

Do yuo have a lot of memory in your PC? Do you have a lot of programs open at the time? I would suggest updated Office, if it is 2000, to Service Pack 1A...avialable at www.microsoft.com/downloads....or investigate such strange behavior at: support.microsoft.com.

Low resources have nothing to do with the amount of RAM on your machine, It is composed of User Resources, and GDI (Graphic Device Interface) resources. For a total of 64 to 128K depending on the OS.
The only way to recover system resources is to reboot the machine.
Sometimes a video driver can cause a loss of GDI memory. To many open programs and Internet connections can also drain resources.

Close Windows Explorer if you have it open, also CTRL-ALT-DEL and close down unwanted programs like antivirus scanners etc.
If this fails reboot the system, i get this message occasionally myself.

MS programs are RAM-hungry; so in order to make sure it has lots of RAM.
1) gets 256M RAM.
2) start-->run-->msconfig-->startup options: unclick all the unnecessary programs which are loaded when the computer is started up. It will not uninstall them; but 'un-load' them only.
3) Use some programs to re-gain the RAM; e.g. FREEMEM PRO.
4) Use the Excel before using other programs; because Windows are poor manager of memory, even the programs are existed; the memory is still holding by the system for these exited programs!!!
