Default Error Message: Not enough system resources to display completely.

This thread has gone unanswered, besides the suggestion to be zoomed at 100%
at all times while working in Excel, which is somewhat ridiculous, if even a
fix at all. I was hoping for a better fix from Microsoft, or at least an
acknowledgement that there is some kind of memory issue here.

I specifically get the "Not enough resources to display" error quite often
in Excel 2007 (SP1), usually when working with charts. It is especially
common when using the Series Editor to choose or change chart data sources
graphically (using the mouse to select the desired range within a worksheet).
The graphics get all screwed up, fields smear, and I feel like I'm back in a
Windows 3.11 memory crash.

I can usually manage to Esc out, save the file, and re-open, though
particular files have an especially recurring problem, to the point where I
have to enter all Series ranges by hand when working with the charts. I was
hoping SP1 would fix this, but it hasn't.

This is a fresh install, no add-ons, SP1, machine with plenty of free memory
and resources at the times of the crashes.
