There is not enough memory or disk space to run word.
I can no longer open any of my Office programs. I have tried to
uninstall/reinstall and it hasn't fixed it. I have tried a system restore on multiple dates and that hasn't fixed it. I have checked: * 1.4 GB of available memory * I have looked into renaming Normal.dot template but can't find any files under this name (looked in hidden files as well) * I have attempted to run winword.exe /a (yielded same error response) * Ran Microsoft Office Diagnostics (all steps were completed with no errors found) * I've looked in Windows Task Manager to see if other apps were running, there wasn't. * I've run chkdsk and that didn't help. I am running Windows XP w/ service pack 3 installed and Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 with service pack 1 and I believe all the updates that are available. Since I purchased my computer through Dell I talked with them and they were of little help. They ran tests, said everything was fine and just to uninstall and reinstall and that if that didn't work it had to be a product problem. I have no idea how to fix this problem If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. |

There is not enough memory or disk space to run word.
Your subject line says "There is not enough memory or disk space to run
word," but your message body doesn't refer to this at all. Are you receiving this error message when you attempt to open Word? What happens when you attempt to run PowerPoint or Excel? Are you opening the applications from the Start menu in Windows, or are you double-clicking a file to open the associated program? Or something else (like double-clicking Winword.EXE, for example)? -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "Itsshar" wrote in message ...

There is not enough memory or disk space to run word.
Sorry.
When I try to open word it comes up " There is not enough memory or disk space to run word". I have tried to open it from the icon on my desktop and also from my start menu, and tried to run it by using winword.exe /a I have also tried to open up word documents that I have saved in the past and still get the same message. When I try to open Excel it says "Excel failed to start correctly last time. Starting Excel in Safe Mode will help you correct or isolate a startup program in order to successfully start the program. Some functionality may be disabled in this mode. Do you want to start Excel in safe mode?" When I click yes it says "Not enough memory to run Microsoft Office Excel. Please close other applications and try again." There are no applications running and have verified through Windows Task Manager. I have even tried to run programs by turning of Norton Anti Virus temporarily and still same error message. All Microsoft programs I try to open pop up with the same error message.

Hi Itsshar,
Try using Start=Programs=Accessories=Disk Cleanup to clear the temp files and from Start=Search recycle files found with a name search of ~$*.*;*.tmp If you still get the same issue check in the System settings Advanced tab in Windows control panel to see if your Environment variables are pointing to a valid location on your hard drive and that the partition has free space available (I'm assuming you're working with documents on your hard drive rather than on removable drives). ============= "Itsshar" wrote in message ...

hi, first of all make sure that partition in which the OS is installed should be atleast 1/4 part is empty. Secondly delete all temp files in prefetch, temp folders. Thirdly run disk cleanup and restart the system as usally to run the wrod files. -- raja |
