"Not enough memory or disk space" -can't be true

I'm trying to open a doc file with images. The size of file is 1MB - when I try to open in word or double click on it I get this message; "There is not enough memory or disk space to complete this operation" - which makes no sense. Could the file be corrupt? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Yes. This file is probably corrupt. You may be able to open it "as text" and recover the text.
"Out of memory" is usually a catch-all error message that almost never means what it says.

    Hi,
    You must have read this thread:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9773a7c4-29a8-48ff-9d16-e1ca4c478610/excel-2013-microsoft-excel-can-not-open-or-save-anymore-documents-because-there-is-not-enough?forum=officesetupdeploy
    To detail the steps, please do as I describe:
    Important
    This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the
    registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-the-registry
    To open the Registry Editor, please press Win + R, type regedit in the blank box, press
    Enter. / Or we can type regedit.exe in Windows 8.1 Search, you'll find it easily.
    Now the Registry Editor is open.
    Then we see the pane on left, expand the following path:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    Then we can see a list on right, find Cache, right click on it, click
    Modify..., under Value data, change the value to something like
    C:\Windows\Temp, click OK.
    Exit Registry Editor.
    As for "You might also right click on the file with file explorer, choose Properties, then General tab and click on the Unblock button." Just find the file, right click on it, choose
    Properties, under General tab, if you see a
    Unblock button, click on it.
    "Some of our customers found it sometimes a permission problem.
    cmd  => dcomcnfg" Do the following:
    Press Win + R, type in cmd in the blank box, press
    Enter.
    In the new black-background window, type in dcomcnfg, press

    Then the Component Services window will pop up, on the left pane, expand
    Component services -> Computes ->
    My Computer -> Dcom config -> and select
    Microsoft Excel Application, right click on it -> Properties ->
    Identity tab -> Select The interactive user ->
    OK.
    I hope I've explained the steps clearly.
    Good luck.

  • Cannot print to pdf -There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate this document

    I don't know if this is an Adobe pdf issue or just a Word 2013 thing.
    But I'm now using Word 2013 on Win 8.1, 64 bit, 8Gs of Ram and when I go to print a few select pages of my document a message pop out at me saying
    'There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate this document'.
    When I had Win 7, the same amount of Ram and Word 2010, I print incrementally to pdf okay. Granted, sometimes certain pages print blank and I have to print it again after restarting the computer but at least I got stuff printed to pdf.
    Now I go to print to pdf as little as 1 single page and that message just pop right up like a really bad penny. As far as I can tell, Adobe is up to date unless I'm missing something.
    Has anyone ever had this issue and got it resolved?

    Thanks TSN.
    (how to check if Ram is full )?
    the memory is 8 G Ram. I only have office 365, Acrobat X1 pro, Gimp, and Inkscape installed. The problem was there before I installed the last two.
    I posted on Microsoft as well and the response was that since I could print the document on regular printer without any issues, then it is an Adobe issue. Using the toolbar is pdfing the full document. That takes a very, very, long time besides at the end of it, many pages are blank in the pdf file and then it is a matter of restarting the computer, re-pdfing until I am tired. So I print the pages incrementally.  Any other way to pdf select pages without any problems?

  • "There is not enough memory or disk space..."

    I am trying to open a .docx file with Word 2004 version 11.6.6 (purchased). However, I always get a message saying, "there is not enough memory or disk space to convert this document" when there is plenty of memory. I have a MacBook Pro version 10.6.8. I downloaded the .XML conversion app. from the Microsoft website to no avail.  However, I can open the same file on my PowerMac G5 also with Word 2004 and the same .XML conversion app. I downloaded for my MacBook Pro from the Microsoft website.  I checked the conversion log of the .XML converter and it says:
    Start time: 2012-02-05 00:12:59 -0500
    Converting file: /Users/xxxxxxxxxxx/Downloads/Formulario-Guía Observación de la Escuela-4.docx
    objc[1541]: Class NLAssertionHandler is implemented in both /Applications/Open XML Converter.app/Contents/SharedSupport/wordcvtr and /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office Converter Support/Open XML for Word.framework/Versions/12/../../../MicrosoftComponentPlugin.framework/Versions /12/MicrosoftComponentPlugin. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
    Conversion failed
    End time: 2012-02-05 00:13:01 -0500
    What gives?  Is the file I'm trying to open corrupt or is there some kind of update I need for my Office Word program?  How can the file be opening fine on one of my computers, but not the other newer one? 

    I also run Word 2004 and OS X 10.6.8 and have a .docx file that the Microsoft Open XML Converter 1.2.1 will not convertet, yet the same problem .docx file will convert fine on a 10.4.11 OS X Mac.

  • Microsoft word there is not enough memory or disk space to complete this operation when pasting picture

    on macbook air getting error in word: 'there is not enough disk space or memory' when trying to paste picture

    How big is the picture? How much free space does your hard drive have? Is your document saved on your computer's hard drive or on a network share?
    Sorry that I only have questions but the information really could be important - the only explanation(s) for the error message you have are bound up in those questions.

  • Opening attachments - ERROR MSG - 'Not enough memory or disc space'

    Hi
    I'm trying to open a word .doc from my Entourage email account and it comes up with the error message ' Not enough memory or disc space'. My hard drive has 119 GB free - so I'm thinking it may be a memory issue.
    How do I deal with this/clean up my computer??
    I just turned my computer on for the day and got this message. The only programs I've got running is Safari, entourage, word and adobe reader.
    Thanks.

    Have you tried Epson support for that E-Web Print application?
    Also, I am curious if Epson installed an add-on for Firefox for that E-Web Print application? ''Thus prompting you to ask about it in the Firefox support forum.''
    At this point the best I can offer you is a suggestion to reset your printer prefs in Firefox to see if that will help with that issue.

  • File Error - FCP-6 - "not enough memory" ---DVDPro disk is slightly jerky..

    I have a macbook. 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB 667 DDr2 SDRAM. Final Cut Pro 6.0.1
    OS 10.4.11
    I have a project file - HD that has worked fine up until now. And wouldn't you know it - it's just
    when I need to be able to burn to quicktime that this occurs.
    There appears to be a continuing "file error: not enough memory" - anytime I open a sequence - now in any project.
    I have done a disk repair with disk utility. I zapped the P-RAM. I've tried dragging the project files to my laptop desktop. Nothing works.
    I have a Lacie external drive with over 150GB of memory left. Another project was shot in HDV -
    and it seems this started to occur after working on that project.
    What else is there? Why is it doing this - of all things, now?
    Please advise - ASAP!?
    Also, one other small detail. If I have my sequence settings in FCP at DVCPRO-HD720p60, and I set my compressor file at 23.98fps - could that be responsible for a subtle jerking in the DVD Studio Pro Disk print? When I pull up the file in DVDpro - and play it on the simulator, the jerking is not present, only in the disk burn.

    The memory that FCP is referring to is RAM. If you're running with less than a couple of gigs, larger projects will report that there's not enough memory... a gig isn't really enough to run FCP anymore. Tiger and Leopard use a LOT of it up so you probably need more RAM.
    The other things that can use up RAM fast are graphics from photoshop, and if they have a blank layer in them, you'll get an out of memory error too. So might check that out, but my guts say you need more RAM for your laptop.

  • Not enough memory (RAM) error. Can't open TIFF file.

    I can't open a 74MB TIFF file in CS5 photoshop.   I get error message: Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM). 
    I have 16GB of RAM and 55.5 GB of scratch disk.
    I am using my recently installed copy of Photoshop CS5 64bit on a virtual Windows7 machine running in Parallels on a recently bought MacBookPro. This software (now deactivated) has run successfully on an XP machine and has successfully open TIFF files of this sort before.
    I don't know whether this is relevant, but I can't update my copy of photoshop either. It downloads the updates, but will not install them.

    I have discovered that the problem is that the TIFF files I am tying to open are 32 bit files.  There are several references on the Internet to Photoshop not being able to open these files   These are output files produced by the astro-imaging software Deep Sky Stacker.  Within DSS  I can save the 32 bit TIFFs  as 16 bit files which photoshop CS5 can open fine.
    Does anyone know whether Photoshop CS5 can open 32 bit tiff files at all?  Would it help if I could update my version of Photoshop (see update problem above)?

  • Help! Not enough start up disk space!

    I have a new iBook G4 MAC with a 512 MB built-in HD, 1.42 GHz... I only have about 4,000 songs in my iTunes, and I keep getting a message that comes up saying that I do not have enough start up disk space available to put any more of my cds onto my computer... The message says that I must empty my trash and delete any files that I do not need in order to have more free space on my start up disk. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? This is a new computer, and I by NO means have anywhere NEAR the amount of files that I KNOW this computer can hold for me. How do I use a different start up disk, or free up my hard drive?
    This is just confusing to me because if my ipod has a 10,000 song-storage capacity, and my computer cannot even store that many songs... I don't know-- that seems a BIT contradictory to me.
    If you have any answers for me, please help...
    --Leslie

    Hello,
    I have exactly the same problem. I have an old G3 ibook but I only have 600 songs on my ipod and I get the same message. I've removed virtually all my old documents and old applications and emptied my trash but nothing seems to work. Alternatively, is it possible to keep adding stuff to ipod and removing stuff off itunes or do the both need to always sync. I'm fairly new to macs so I'm not sure exactly how you find out how much disk space you have left but I can't imagine that I've filled up my drive as I have almost nothing on there!
    Please help!
