changing office assistant get not enough memory why?
Rasner@discussions.microsoft.com Bud Rasner
memory message in Word and Excel is office 2000 on vista os 1gb physical
memory

It means "it's not there!"
That's a very old error message. Basically it means "I can't find something
I expected to be in memory by now."
Back in the days when they created that error message, the most likely cause
was that there was not enough free memory to load whatever it was that Word
was looking for. Now, it simply means "Not found".
Which usually means the installation has been damaged. A file may have been
damaged, or inadvertently deleted.
Go to the Help menu and run "Detect and Repair". That should bring it
right.
Cheers

The files are there, but this is a "NEW VISTA" problem they work perfectly
fine on Windows XP and I can see the files on the HD.
Detect and repair does not work, neither does a clean install of Office
2003.
Does anyone have any ideas? (Preferably without the belittling sarcasm)

with "Clippy", so be it - I'll probably turn him off anyway. My main
concern about this glitch is that if this one small aspect of Word doesn't
function correctly - what other "issues" might I run into with this
application?
Is this happening with Vista because Microsoft is discontinuing the Office
Assistant?
I don't want to have to spend a lot of time fussing with this - I really
just want to make sure that my installation of Word is fully functional.
Any comments?

there other compatability problems running windows 2000 on Vista? Like
potpie, I too want to make sure my installation of Word is fully functional.
I am having so many problems with Vista...way too many compatability
problems! Am thinking of going back to XP which I love.

anyone has found a solution to the problem. Like all of you, I am concerned
more about the functionality of my Office 2003 programs in general than I am
about Clippy..
Any advice to the harried would be greatly appreciated.
