Publisher won't start - low memory error
When I try to open Publisher 2003 I get an error "Windows is low on memory,
or your hard disk is full. Try closing other programs and freeing some space on your hard disk before starting Publisher." I have plenty of memory on the hard dish 60GB free and 2GB of RAM so it isn't a memory problem. I have search and have only found references to a problem with NAV (Norton Anti Virus) which I don't have. I have reinstalled with no success. I have run repair with no success. It was running fine and crashed while trying to print a document and since then it won't run. Any ideas. |

That seems to help clear out the computer's sinuses or something. (I don't think they've ever fixed the 'memory leak' problem...or ever will.) Or maybe something has left some footprints around somewhere that are messing with Publisher. I didn't have as much free HD or RAM space as you (one reason I've gone to a new computer) & I'm sure there was lots of....grit....around in what I did have. bj |

Publisher won't start - low memory error
I have rebooted several times. Even unistalled Publisher and reinstalled.
Did a repair. Nothing seems to clear out whatever the problem is. Plenty of memory and virtual memory. I am at a loss. "bjm" wrote in message ... "Cody" wrote in message ...

All I can offer, then, is sympathetic sighs & frustrations.
Very sorry. Or maybe there is something else that's running in the background that you're not even aware of that even though it's not a memory hog is somehow messing up Publisher. bj "Cody" wrote in message ...

Do a disk clean-up. I'd keep the Office setup files, but the rest would probably
could go. My Computer, right-click your hard drive, click disk clean-up.

Publisher won't start - low memory error
Mary,
I really appreciate all your help. I found the problem. For some reason COMODO Defense+ is blocking Publisher from starting. I have disabled it and everything works fine. Thanks!
