Insufficient Memory

[Michael]

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.

 

[Guest]

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).
Thanks

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.)

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.
