The 13 gigs free on the primary drive has nothing to do with RAM

You have 1 gig of RAM...........what else have you got running along with Excel?

Close a few things down and see what happens.

I have 512 mb RAM and don't have any problems with Excel unless I am running too

CAD to open the Task Manager.

Click on "Performance" tab and see what your total and available Physical Memory
are doing.

I have a Sony 3.2 ghz laptop with a gig of ram. I can't even save a blank
