When I install 2gig ram (2 x 1gig) on my PC I can no longer open an excel
attachment from an Outlook email. Excel launches but shutsdown as soon as
the file opens (takes a while). If I open excel first the file will open.

I also have a problem launching any Access db. Access shutdown as soon as
the Db opens. I can open access directly but if I start a new DB it
shutsdown as soon as I try to use any control. (Not db corruption since
brand new db shutsdown)

If I remove the 2 gigs and put back the 2x256 megs these problems go away.

Any Ideas other then keeping ram under 1 gig?

I've tried another PC and different memory but still have the problem.

Is there a limit to the Ram that Access 2000 or Excel 2003 (current versions
installed) can work on?

I've tried single 1 gig memory and still have the problem. Can't see
problems in any othe appss so far.
