Yes on all counts - these are the same spreadsheets (converted) we have run
for years. I have brought some forward and re-created others. Nothing really
fancy, I do use color formating and fills etc. But these are 500 line 30
column spreads. I have no problem opening in 2003 and have run 50,000 line
26 column spreads in excel 2002 (with much more complicated formulas) with no
problem. Have run spreadsheets in 2 and 3 simutanous excel sessions and again
in 1 session, No difference, intermittently, three times a week, it all
freezes and crash. I bet all open application are not more using more than 2
gig of the 4 gig ram, In summary few small ram footprint still results in
"not enough resources etc".; I expected this new top of line Dell to allow
for exponential improvements in productivity, instead with 2007 Excel I am
dying. Dell has no solution, MS will not support OEM. Thanks for your
consideration

Have you tested on both versions of excel. One file or many? etc.
By any chance are you trying to get info from a large external file?

Why does excel crash, no warning, stating "not enough resourses avaiable
to
display ...." the spreadsheets freeze, the menu bar blacks out or
disappears,
I cannot save and exit. I run 4 gigs ram, total allapplications running
much
less than that? Excel 2007 cannot handle on new 3ghz cpu machine what
Excel
2002 could do on 1 gig 5 year old 1.3ghz cpu running exactly the same
applications Could it have something to do with the way paging is setup in
the windows XP operating system?
