Insufficient Memory
I have Publisher 2000. I recently purchased a new
computer with Windows XP Pro, 2.8 Ghz Pentium and 1Gb of Ram. When I open files that have some embedded graphics, I get a message saying that there is not enough memory to display the graphics, and that I should close programs in order to free up sufficient memory. The odd part is, the same files open with no problems on a lap top running Win 98Se, with 600 Mhz Celron and 128 Mb Ram. Any solutions? Thanks in advance for any input. |

What is running in the background? Generally new computers come chock full
of diagnostic software that seems to bog a system down. I live life dangerously - I don't run their software. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Michael" wrote in message ...

Of course you are right that there are a quite a long list of programs running in the background, but it seems that an equal number of programs are running on the laptop that is significantly slower than the desk-top with which I am having problems. Long story short, this is the 2nd new computer (I returned a Dell as their Tech Support was anything but...) that I am having the same problem with. It seems more like a compatability problem between Win XP Pro and MS PUB 2000 than a hardware problem (though I have to say I am not a tech guy).

I can tell you that my Pub 2000 runs just fine on my P3-500 with Win XP Pro.
As does 2002 and 2003. No conflicts, no lockups, smooth as China silk. The programs running in the background of the newer system could very well be using more resources than those running on the older system. I had that happen a few times when I was running Win 98 on this system but not since. For grins and giggles, try shutting down some of the obvious ..........well, for lack of a better word, crap, running in the background. See if that make s a difference. (Confession time: I not only don't run that diagnostic software, I uninstall it ASAP.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] wrote in message ...

If you haven't already, give it a good scan with up-to-date antivirus,
spyware, trojan horse software. An unprotected computer - that is a brand new computer that hasn't downloaded the latest update - can actually be infected within about 15 seconds... especially XP. I helped a friend set up his brand new computer out of the box. Just getting online to download the updates for his bundled antivirus let about 7 bugs in. Unreal! Out of memory errors, crashes the works, and we weren't really running anything. And antivirus alone doesn't really do it. I had to install a suite to get everything. Just a thought.

Ok, I'm not an expert, but started with computers when a
16x (total ram, no rom) was the size of a refrigerator. You nmight want to try the following: 1) Run spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html 2) Click start, run, type 'msconfig', go to the tab on the far right, clear the check boxes for everything except for the most obvious things that you need. Click ok or apply or whatever in the heck microsoft has for a call to action on that page. 3) Restart 4) Do the cntrl alt del to get into your task manager 5) Look at what is running under processes. If you don't know what something is search using that name on google. Remember, it seems like everytime you run an adobe or microsoft program they continue to run in the background. Great idea huh? Not! 6) Oh, this should be one. Make sure all your memory is working by going into your systems directory. One of your memory boards could have popped partially out or was never put in in the first place. 7) Next time buy a bare bones and the programs you need and get a nice clean running machine. -----Original Message----- Great idea! -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "McCabe's Minuteman" wrote in message ...
