There is not enough memory to complete this operation

A student has created a slide show in AppleWorks - version 6.2.9
OSX is 10.4.x as well as 10.3.x - the slide show is 1.6MB and the computers we are attempting to open the document on have 256MB of memory.
I have also attempted to open the slide show on an OS9.1 machine with 192MB of memory (AW 6.2.8, of course).
I think we can cover the 1.6MB in the document, which indicates something else is wrong.
Any suggestions on how, or if, this document can be recovered?
We have already suggested the student attempt to recreate it AND save more often or use smaller pictures.
Oh, yes, we are using Workgroup Manager on an XServe.
Thanks!

OS X allocate memory dynamically, so unless you have a lot of other applications also running, the message shouldn't show up there.
In Mac OS 9.x.x and earlier, you must specify how much memory to allocate to an application. This is done in the application's Get Info window, with the application NOT running at the time.
Locate the application's icon in the Applications folder, click it once, then press command-I to Get Info. You'll find either a set of boxes in which to enter the Minimum and Preferred memory allocations, or a pulldown menu bar which will probably read "General", from which you can select "Memory"
Preferred is the amount of memory you want AppleWork to have if it is currently available when the program launches; Minimum is the smallest amount of memory you want AppleWorks to have. In the specified minimum is not available, the Mac OS will not launch the application, and will present an alert explaining why.

"There is not enough memory to complete this operation. " So what do I do ?

First try with new imac to replace the dead G4. G4 HD connected as an external HD so the files are available.
Have found appleworks and want to change a data base entry and it won't let me, I get the 'not enough memory ' message. I know that extra memory can be allocated to applications but have forgotten 'how to'. What do I do please .
Thanks

Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop.
I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode.
Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
all other Office programs work seamlessly.
I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug.
I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem.

This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:
https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.
And 193K results on Bing:

Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them.
Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine.

PDF error - not enough memory to complete this operation.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi,
not sure - this is the default funtion in osx - when you hit cmd print - then lower left "SAVE AS PDF"
hope that helps...
Q is there a way to reset the default app?

Not enough memory to complete this operation windows 8

Hi All,
I have a problem whith a built executable where at random intervals I get a windows dialogue saying "Not enough Memory to complete this operation"
I have searched through the forums and although there are similar posts I have not been able to get rid of this message by trying several things. My project is a cRIO which connects and disconnects using the STM messenger service. The HOST computer is a Producer consumer design pattern, the crio is a producer consumer with the producer being incoming TCP IP messages essentially. The windows 8 machine shows no signs of running out of memory. There is plenty available (8GB) and during normal execution the program is only using roughly 200MB and is stable.
Some of the things I have tried from reading similar threads but have had no luck.
Put a delay in TCP Send function from the cRIO (1mS).
Disabled all writing to files for polled data / results.
Run in windows 7 and XP compatibility mode and as administrator.
Move whole executable into my Documents after suspecting file permissions.
Made whole of install directory full access permissions.
Disabled firewall and uninstalled anti Virus as its not connected to T'internet.
Monitored cached data and disk writes using perfmon.
Monitored Threads and seem stable.
This build was also tested on a windows 7 machine and has been run overnight with no problems. the executable also runs on my development machine with no problems. The windows 8 machine has no NI max installed (Just the RT engine), the windows 7 does along with VISA drivers etc.
When the "Not Enough...." Dialogue appears the exe hangs untill the prompt is removed. Once the dialogue is removed the TCP Queue then catches up with Queued data so I know that there are no queues increasing in size (It has happily stored all polled data from an overnight run and then dequeues all this information to the front panel no problem)..
Build PC:
Windows 7 (64 bit) - LabVIEW 2013 (32 bit) full development.
Target PC (with error message)
Windows 8 (64 bit) - LabVIEW 2013 RTE (Installed from an installer built on machine above using recommended settings)
Other Test Target (With no problems)
Windows 7 64 bit - LabVIEW 2013 RTE, MAX and VISA Installed.
Is there any way to debug this some more?? Where might I find this information in the windows event logs / perfmon etc??
Many Thanks in advance

Hi craigc,
Good job with the current troubleshooting status!
A couple of things though:
• Have you tried building the application on the same Windows 8 machine? Does it have the same issue then?
• Did you try increasing the Virtual Memory usage? Even though this should not haveany influence if you are using a 64bit machine, it might still be worth a try. There's a tutorial how to do it on Windows 7 here and it should not be very different from Windows 8.
• You have mentioned that you used perfmon. What exactly did you measure and what results did you log?
• Do the pop-ups show up in complete random manner or is there a pattern?
• What about increasing the delay in TCP Send? I assume you have followed the latter suggestion from this forum post?
Thanks!

Cannot load large CSV files in SignalExpress("Not enough memory to complete this operation" error)

Hi guys,
I'm new here and just have browsed
some of the related topics here regarding my problem but could not seem
to find anything to help me fix this problem so I decided to post this.
I currently have a saved waveform from an oscilloscope that is quite
big in size(around 700MB, CSV file format) and I want to view this on
my PC using SignalExpress. Unfortunately when I try to load the file
using "Load/Save Signals -> Load From ASCII", I always get the "Not
enough memory to complete this operation" error. How can we view and
analyze large waveform files in SignalExpress? Is there a workaround on
this?
Thanks,
Louie
P.S.>I'm very new to Signal Express and haven't modified any settings on it.

Hi Louie,
Are you encountering a read-only message when you tried to save the boot.ini file? If so, you can try this method: right-click on My Computer >> Select "Properties", and go to the "Advanced" tab. Select "Settings", and on the next screen, there is a button called Edit. If you click on Edit you should be able to modify the "/3GB" tag in boot.ini. Are you able to change it in this manner? After reboot, you can reload the file to see if it helps.
To open a file in SignalExpress, a contiguous chunk of memory is required. If SignalExpress cannot find a contiguous memory chunk that is large enough to hold this file, then an error will be generated. This can happen when fragmentation occurs in memory, and fragmentation (memory management) is managed by Windows, so unfortunately this is a limitation that we have.
As an alternative, have you looked at NI DIAdem before? It is a software tool that allows users to manage and analyze large volumes of data, and has some unique memory management method that lets it open and work on large amounts of data. There is an evaluation version which is available for download; you can try it out and see if it is suitable for your application.
Best regards,
Victor

Error "not enough memory to complete this operation"

Hi, I develop the device which reads the data on TCP(I use ftp://ftp.ni.com/pub/devzone/epd/stm_2.0_installer.zip)
from crio and then displays them on 7 waveform chart ( 5 chart with 150000 history length and 2 with 600 - 1 minute of measurements) and 2 xy graph. After 10 minutes of work there is an error “not enough memory to complete this operation”. On the WIndows Task manger I have seen that there is a filling RAM approximately from 45 % up to 72 % then the mistake jumps out. But I do not know why. Help please.

It's likely that instead of trying to plot 5 charts with 150000 data-points, you're trying to plot 150000charts with 5 data-points! Try right-clicking on the chart - do you see "Transpose Array" property? If it's checked, UNcheck it (if UNchecked, check it!)
Cheers!

Not enough memory to complete this operation

hi everybody
i've seen a lot of posts under this heading but could not be able to find out regarding my problem
when i am trying to open host vi from a project explorer window , after loading about 8500 dependencies (sorry if use wrong word), its starts giving error "not enough memory to complete this operation"
plz tell me what type of memory is this message telling about?
regards
aqib

How many VIs are in your entire project? Did this problem just start? Are you upgrading to a new version of LV? Can you open smaller pieces of the entire application?

MS Project Professional 2010 - Configuration Failure - There is not enough memory to complete the operation

Windows 7 64, MS Office Pro 2010 installed add working - 4 gig of memory 500 gig + of free disk space. I get the below results when trying to start project the first time.
Tried usual admin rights stuff and turning off norton and firewall. Same results after re-install, restart,
repair, you know all the usual.
Note I borrowed the steps below from another thread that was never answered.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-project/ms-project-crash-after-configuring/e6c67a84-5749-4b19-8cbd-562189d9785c
1. Microsoft Project Professionnal 2010 popup: Configuration Progress splash screen with progress bar and yellow wave at bottom.
2. Microsoft Office Project MUI (English) 2010 popup: Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Project MUI (English) 2010, then disappears.
3. Microsoft Project 2010 logo popup with green wave at bottom.
4. Steps 1-3 repeated 3 times.
5. Microsoft Project popup: There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and try again.

I located a solution, finally! It was solved back in 2007. It is NOT a memory issue nor a conflict with other software as most of the forum advisers suggest. It is a pure MICROSOFT problem with Registry permissions. And as they provide no solution
(as of 2014 yes 7 years) one has to use a registry hacking tool to take command of the registry. The solution that worked perfectly for me is located here :

Building an Executable - Not Enough Memory to complete this operation

I am trying to build an executable from my project, it is quite a large program. During the build, within the 'initializing build' phase, I get the error message 'not enough memory to complete this operation'. I have a decent PC running XP and 4GB ram. LabVIEW is using about 1.2GB of ram when the problem occurs.
This is an application that I've been working on for some time and I have experienced similiar problems before. To get round it I have added the /3GB switch to the boot.ini file. However that is no longer working, it complains of a problem loading a dll which seems to have only started happening since moving to LV2012.
Does anybody have any experience with solving this problem please? It is a bit of a showstopper for me at the moment.
Thank you,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Adding the 3GB switch is a solution which should still work on your system.
I'm a little confused, is the system still complaining about not having enough memory? Or is it just the dll problem?
And is the error message occuring during the build, or when trying to run the .exe?
The dll in question is associated with DAQmx.
If it is a runtime problem rather than a build problem, it may be that you haven't included the DAQmx driver on the target machine, in which case the answer lies in this document: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5406/en
If I've misunderstood, please clarify the exact issue which is currently occuring, and we can continue to troubleshoot.

Error on running LV application-not enough memory to complete this operation

Hi,
Developed an application for multi plot graph.
The graph is having around 25 plots and and its fetching many records from the database for the pltting purpose.
This LV application is a module of a VB real time application which is running always on the PC.
Now when the user tries to plot the graph...some times he is getting an error message as the following
"not enough memory to complete this operation"
What are the reasons for such an error message and how do i eliminate this error?

LabVIEW cannot allocate the memory needed to complete the task at hand.
Prevent data copies of large datasets.
Reduce the amount of data in your graphs. (Not all point can be seen as individual points, if the scale is from 0-1000 you can plot 1000 points, but with the scale 0-1000000 you can also have 1000 point instead of 1000000 and see almost no difference.

André

"Not enough memory to complete this operation" with Shared Variable

I have a sizeable cluster (over a megabyte on disk) that I'd like to send over a shared variable. When I try to set the data type of the shared variable as the cluster I get the message "Not enough memory to complete this operation" (see attached image) and the LabVIEW dialog goes into its edit-mode state. Has anyone seen this before?

My TCP/IP connection return randomly a "Not enough memory to complete this operation"

I have a program running a data acquisition loop on a PC. (PIII 700, 128 Meg RAM). This program send all the data reads from the system to a UI in another PC via a TCP/IP connection.
Everything works fine.. but, sometime, I receive a message "not enough memory to complete this operation". This is ramdom and cannot always be reproduce. I run often days without this problem and he show up 2 or three times the next day.
The memory usage in the system is constant and the number of handles used is also constant. I am using LV run-time version 5.1.1. I cannot upgrade to 6.X for many reasons.
Can somebody has any idea of the cause of this message. I only see one message like thi
s in the previous post and it doesn't looks like been solved.
Thanks,
Stephane

Hi Dave,
I cannot give you any source for the error message. My homemade error manager give me an error 2 after this message box in my TCP/IP command server in... pointing to a vi where I call only TCP write, TCP read and a encryption decoding (a loop appllying logical operation on all the bytes of the message to generate a magic number.)
This error, has we discuss in a previous e-mail we exchange can be only a side effect. I don't know. I have not test my program on Win 9X. I don't have any license of the OS in the buiding. Even if than solve the problem, I can trust 9X OS. Probably the same for you if your application is critical.
I wonder if you can provide the kind of instrumentation you are interacting with. My list is the following:
VXI card HP 1413, (VISA layer and configuration DLL from HP)
VXI card HP 1415, (VISA layer and configuration DLL from HP) [disable]
GPIB/ENET100 (VISA) [diseable]
PCI Ballard ARINC card (Ballard DLL) [disable]
ENET connection with the TCP/IP layer... not the socket one.
I am running from a VXIpc-872 from NI in a NI VXI chassis. I have try to different VXI controller (with different CPU speed) and also with an HP chassis. Same result. [Diseable] mean the code is not called. I run with the minimal system I can support 1 VXI Card and 1 SCP and still the same problem happen.
Does you, Melissa G and Eric Dalaire (on the other thread) have the same type of hardware?
If my assumption is good, the AI Continious Scan is probably using DMA? Do they? I also use DMA in my VXI access. Do you use DMA too Dave?

24 GB of RAM but still "not enough memory to complete this operation"

Hello Everyone
I have an application running on Windows 7, 24 GB RAM, 64 bit computer. I am using Labview 2011, 32 bit and trying to acquire images from a camera. Although I have 24 GB of RAM but while acquiring, the physical memory usage goes upto 8 GB and after that I receive the "not enough memory to complete this operation" message. Any help on how it can be corrected.
Thanks
Chauhan

Hi,
We are developing an application with Labview 2011, 32 bit, to accuire images at 100fps. Aplication will run in another computer with more than 8GB of RAM (probably 32GB), without having Labview installed, it will only run the exe file. So our questions are:
we will found also the 8GB limitation?
If so, the solution could be to buil the application with LV 2011 64bit?
aditional information will be apreciated.
Regards,
Marc.

Aparición pop-up "Not enough memory to complete this operation" con mismo vi en un PC si y en otro no.

Hola, tengo un problema durante la ejecución de un VI. Cuando ejecuto este VI en mi PC puedo tomar hasta 800.000 muestras sin ningún problema, pero cuando ejecuto el VI en el PC donde tiene que trabajar normalmente aparece el mensaje "Not enough memory to complete this operation". Este mensaje aparece indistintamente cuando por ejemplo ha tomado 14000 muestras como cuando ha tomado 30000. En principio los dos PC tienen similares características, por lo tanto no acabo de entender porque en uno de ellos aparece este problema. Por lo que he leído es por un problema de falta de memoria, pero nose si puede haber otra razón. El VI toma muestras de un adquisidor de datos Agilent y de un enfriador criostatico Haake, va guardando estos datos en varios ficheros y a su vez los grafica en varias gráficas.
¿Cuál puede ser la razón por la cual en dos ordenadores, en principio con las mismas caracteristicas, en uno aparece este problema y en otro no?
¿Puedo solucionar de alguna forma esto para que pueda trabajar en el PC que actualmente aparece el problema?
Muchas gracias.

Não importa quanto de memória o PC possui, mas o quanto ela está fragmentada. Quando você aloca um array na memória a área deve ser contígua e se não for possível ele irá avisar a falta de memória.
Tente alocar toda a memória que necessita no começo da execução e não redimensionar o array no meio da execução.
Tente utilizar buffers menores. Se estiver convertendo os dados para texto, como CSV, divida o array em pedaços menores, converta e escreva em arquivo pedaço a pedaço.
Espero ajudar.
