low memory

[Cathi]

in Publisher, when I try to 'edit story in Word', I get
the message 'windows low on memory'. this is not likely, I
have 512, plus way large hard drives (c=80, d=120), wiht
plenty of room. I had the hard drives reformatted and
reloaded. the same problem happened with Office XP and now
with Office 2003, so it's not likely to be corrupt files.
virtual memory is configured for performance. does any one
have a suggestion? it's driving me nuts! Thanks.

UN-install/REMOVE permanently the garbage Norton AV you have installed and
buy a quality AV program and your problems will be over.

I thought Norton was a quality AV. What are quality AV
programs?

Symantec/Norton programs are the worst faulty troublesome junk lousy garbage
trash rubbish on the market and have always been.

Just do a search on the newsgroups and you will see for yourself all the
problems users have with Symantec and Norton trash.

These are two of the ones that give no problems to users and are excellent
in catching viruses.

Norton is a quality program. I suspect Mr. Gates tried to buy Symantec
and was rebuffed and then decided that all MS programs would not get
along with the AV program. Sad, but the truth is Pub has problems if
Norton's is installed.

Personally, I'm hoping a group of programmers offer OS Plus as an
alternative.

Sorry, but I believe that while Norton may be quality at it's best, it does
break Office products, and it's the script blocking and the office add-in
that NORTON created are to blame, not MS products. It's NORTON that has
worked with to make their program compatible with Office, not Office with
Norton. Norton needs to address this problem once and for all.

If you look at the history of Symantec they have always been in the wrong
with bugs and faults and fail to fix them.
Norton AV breaks heaps of other programs besides MS Office. MapInfo 7.5
refuses to work with Norton AV and there are heaps of other programs. It is
only Symantec's high profile and the heaps of dollars they spend on
advertising and pushing that has kept their sales up. You will not find
experienced computer users buying anything Symantec/Norton.

Symantec/Norton is a case of 'buy the next version if you want a fix', like
Corel used to be.
