Please close other applications and try again." when trying to start Excel 2007. Also, all other Office applications refuse to start with various error messages. I tried the repair option from the install image and http://superuser.com/questions/1016545/possible-registry-fix-for-a-not-enough-memory-to-run-microsoft-excel-error also uninstalled/reinstalled but the error persist. I found this superuser thread with a link to a suggestion that this is a user account error in the registry It says: "I am aware of the error you are getting, in order to get rid of it you will have to delete below key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\SID of the affected user> You can follow below steps for doing that. Go to start > run > type "regedit" without quotes and click on ok. Navigate to above registry key and delete it. Make sure that you are backing up current registry to be at safer side, best of luck." Just to check if this could be a user account error, I set up a new test account on my laptop and using this account Office works as usual. So, the proposed registry fix is to delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\SID of the affected user> This registry key holds loads of sub folders and keys and I'm feeling reluctant to remove it without knowing more of what it's for and possible implications. So are there any registry gurus out there who can tell me wether it's safe to remove this key to fix this Office error? Edit: Type wmic useraccount get name,sid in your command prompt to find out your SID. microsoft-excel windows-xp windows-registry share

That worked, but a bunch of programs, including Office, had to be reinstalled. The reinstalls have mostly been successful--Outlook and Word work fine--but when he tries to start Excel, he gets the error "Not enough memory to run Microsoft Office Excel". I've tried reinstalling, running detect and repair, using the Windows Installer Clean Up utility, creating a new profile and trying to run not enough memory the program as that user. Nothing seems to work. Memory and disk space are not an issue. There are many posts online about this issue, and no clear answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The OS is Windows XP w/SP3 and he's running Office Basic 2003.

Try running a memory diagnostic, and/or swapping memory cards. Check the swap file settings. Do the temp or tmp environment variables point to someplace odd? Is the user authorized to update those locations? This type of problem is why our IT department uses some type of image software (perhaps ghost). They would just re-image the PC (which is like reinstalling every application, including Windo
