“Not enough memory” error on Excel

“Not enough memory” error on Excel

This shows that you have no space in your hard drive. Your drives are getting full. You have to free up some space by running disk cleanup utility in your system.  Remember full hard drives always cause issues. Try to free up some space. Move your data to another drive and keep running disk clean up and disk defragmentation utility.  Only Static or non running applications do not occupy space but running applications also occupy spaces. So, close other programs and then try again.

There may be an issue of file corrupt. Uninstall MS excel from your system then reinstall it. You can download it directly from internet.

“Not enough memory” error on Excel

The problem is as simple as it says; the application won’t open because the system doesn’t have enough memory left to run it. There are different ways how you can go around it. First is, make sure you are running Microsoft Office Excel exclusively. I mean, there should be no other programs currently running together with Microsoft Office Excel.

If you are running other applications when you started Microsoft Office Excel, exit all programs and then restart the computer. After booting, start Microsoft Office Excel and this time don’t open other applications. Make the system exclusive for Microsoft Office Excel. You may also try increasing the amount of virtual memory your computer has.

To do this, right-click My Computer then select Properties. Select Advanced tab then click Settings in Performance. See image.

Select Advanced tab then click Change in “Virtual memory”. See image.

Select “Custom size” and then enter the same value for “Initial size” and “Maximum size” then click Set and then OK to close the window. See image.

If this is the first time you’ll be going to modify the amount of virtual memory and you are not sure what value to enter, please refer to Windows Terminal Server Proxy. Please read carefully my post there to know the correct value you should set for your virtual memory.

This should now fix your problem. No matter how small the installed RAM is as long as you can run your operating system, you can surely open Microsoft Office Excel with the help of modifying the amount of virtual memory.
