Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. Please close other applications and try again.

Hi All,
I have windows 7 SP1 64 bit machine with 8 GB of RAM. and have office 365 pro plus installed on it. I use windows explorer preview pane a lot and suddenly it has stopped working. Whenever I click on any excel, power-point, word file with the preview pane
enabled it gives me the error as below:
for Excel: Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. Please close other applications and try again.
For Power point: there is not enough memory or system resources to start power point.
However the file opens fine when I double click it. I have tried the following"
1. Repaired, re-installed office 365 pro plus.
2. Disabled, enabled and changed virtual memory page file size. It did not make any difference.
3. Have verified folder and search options and they are fine for the preview pane.
Is there anything we can do about it?

Since we were unable to reproduce in my test machine, we were unable to determine the root cause of the problem.  This seems to be happening when Windows is trying instantiate the Office application for the preview in the Preview pane, if the repair
Office still doesn't work, we might turn our mind onto Windows OS level.
Here is my suggestion:
1. Disable all of security programs or Anti-virus on that machine.
2. Disable DEP.
3. If you installed any video or graphic codec programs, please temporary to remove them to check the result.
Feel free to post back.
====================
I've summary the Symptom as following:
When trying to open files from a file share using Microsoft Office 2013 via Windows Explorer, we're see the following messages in the respective Office apps (see below). However, after clicking OK in the respective dialog,  the Office files open from
the share as expected.
Microsoft Word
Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start. (24)
Microsoft Excel
Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. Please close other applications and try again.
Microsoft PowerPoint
There's not enough memory or system resources to start Microsoft PowerPoint.
The issue does not happen if we navigate to the same file via the File > Open dialog.

  • Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and tr again

    Hello,
    Just purchased a new laptop:
    Intel Core 2 quad
    4gb memory
    1000 HDD
    Photoshop CS 8.0 disc dead/scratched/unreadable.  So I copied my Adobe folder from my Program Files Folder on my PC and pasted on laptop.  When I try and run PS I get the error message "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again". Which I do then Photoshop closes.
    Can anyone help (in layman terms please)?

    Not really. You are essentially FUBARd. Without a proper install, there is usually no way on to get the licensing stuff working. You might be able to get there by installing any other CS product, so PS could latch on to the licensing system that would be already in place, but otherwise it's a lost cause. Simply copying over the executables is normally not enough. I will admit though, that I skipped CS, so there may be some tool somewhere that I don't know about can do this post facto...

  • Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try agai

    I have just had a Windows XP failure and took the opportunity to replace with Windows 7.  After I reinstalled PhotoShop CS(1) the message "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again"  is shown and forces PhotoShop to close.  I have 4Gb of Ram installed and a total of about 10Gb of Page File space on three partitions of a 500Gb HDD.  The system is not heavily loaded!  However, I cannot access Photoshop to check scratch disk allocation.  How to fix???

    Yes, there are many forums, and it can be confusing. Your question has the best chance of being answered if it is in the proper place. I think it is there now.

  • Trying to Hot Sync Visor Pro with Windows 7 (64 bit OS) - getting error: "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be establishe​d. Please check your setup and try again."

    Hi.
    I read the posting regarding the options on Hotsyncing for Windows 7; however, I have some questions as I have a 64-bit system.
    I have a Visor Pro that I'm trying to Sync up with my new laptop which is running Windows 7.
    Steps I have taken:
    * installed the Visor Palm Desktop 3.0.1 that came with the Visor (which the installation went well)
    * The issue arises when I push the "Sync" button on the cradle and the following error message appears "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again."
    Since I have a 64-bit OS it appears that I have 2 options: 1) bluetooth or 2) Infrared.
    I have to admit I don't know know how to do either of these (how can I tell if this Handspring Visor Pro has bluetooth (which I don't it does)?). 
    Then how about the Infrared option?  I see on the PDA it has a red area that one can "beam" info.  Is this the same as Infrared or my 2nd option?
    I love my Visor and want to continue using it, but need to backup the valuable info!
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
    THANKS!!!!!
    Post relates to: Visor Pro

    Hello lwalbring and welcome to the Palm forums.
    Your Visor, as you suspect, does not have Bluetooth, so you must use the IR HotSync option.  Since you are using Windows 7 64-bit, I believe that you are going to have to upgrade to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to make things work from an OS/Driver perspective.
    Since you are using such an old device, you are also going to have to download and install the PalmHotSyncSetup Utility from Pimlico.  This update turns on support for old Palm OS PDAs in Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  Without the update, you won't be able to sync your Visor with Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  The software is free and the link is all the way at the bottom of the screen.
    Lastly, if your PC doesn't have an IR port on it, you will need to purchase a USB to IR adapter.  Some laptops still have IR ports and most desktops don't.
    Once you have all the pieces, you'll want to go back to the Windows 7 and Vista HotSync thread again, and follow the directions for setting up and configuring IR HotSyncs.

  • "USB device not recognized." "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." Tungsten E2, Outlook 2007

    Hi,
    I am running XP SP 2, on a Dell Vostro 1000, Palm OS Garnet v5.4.7 on a Tungsten E2. I have worked though issues relating to synchronization, Outlook 2007, Docs to Go, etc., in the past.  Thank you board members! 
    Once I worked thru all the initial problems, my Tungsten E2 was sync' ing beautifully to my laptop until a few days ago.  There have been no changes (I know of) to the configuration, but now I receive  "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again."  On the laptop I sometimes get  "USB device not recognized."  I am unclear why I get the PC message sometimes and not others.   
    I have tried the following: (not necc exactly in this order)
    Double checked Hot Sync Mgr settings: Local USB (ver. 6.0.1)
    Reset the Palm (multiple times)
    Rebooted the laptop  (multiple times before and after the Palm resets)
    Went to Support Libraries including http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=57,E=0000000001060189973,K=9550,Sxi=3,Case=Obj(3695...)
    and http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External2001,Case=obj(1409) 
    Followed the steps in "Start Here" found at  http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&thread.id=26057 
    Moved Backup directory as per a post on this forum
    Looked for a deleted a file called "Graffiti_ShortCuts_____________" per a post on this forum
    Followed the steps in HotSync troubleshooter guide you can run through located on
    http://kb.palm.com
    Went into Device Manager - found it shows no yellow ! 's
    Followed Device Mgr Troubleshooter - went all the way thru with no solution 
    Tried all four USB ports - the PC's bell-like tone does not sound when I disconnect or reconnect the Plam's cradle like it does when I conn/disconnect other USB devices -I think that is a clue.    ...? 
    Cleaned the Palm's contacts (and cradle's contacts with a old, dry toothbrush)
    Read all the posts under "USB device not recognized." 
    OK, I'm at a loss, can anyone help me?  Many thanks in advance!

    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Hello!
    Using a cradle with the Tungsten E2?  Tried bypassing the cradle and just use the hotsync cable?  Tried a different computer yet?  Somehow, the PC is having problems getting a signal from the device.  I assume you have the laptop charger plugged into the laptop during this?  Not going through a docking station or port-replicator.
    One crazy thing you can try is unplug the charger from your laptop, remove the battery from the laptop and leave it out for like 10mins and put it back in and reboot the laptop.  This should not cause side effects but still contact your OEM to make sure that nothing else is needed after leaving the battery out for extended period of time.  Keep me posted.

    Go to your system preferences → network → make sure WI-FI selected → advanced → DNS tab. Add 8.8.8.8 to the DNS servers. Go back to FaceTime and try to verify your account again.
