Help Needed I Can't Run Word Or Excel Programs

in Techie Stuff
Hellooo you lovely people on the techie board!
I know this problem was posted on the board this morning, but the reboot answer didn't work for me
Every time I try to open up a word or excel program it tells me there is not enough memory or disk space to run it
Last night I dutifully cleared a load of cack off my laptop to make some space on the hard drive, I managed to gain back 8GB leaving me with 24GB left
I defragmented
I Disk Cleaned up
I Crap Cleaned
I removed unwanted programs and files
I ran a Hijack this log just incase and that came up clean ( all green ticks and safe sites)
I ran spybot and superantispyware, all clean
still word or excel wouldn't work
This morning I discovered I only had 42MB of memory left out of 1024 :eek:
so I thought thats why it probably wasn't working, I've managed to regain half of it back by going through my task manager processes ( now running at 554MB ish)
but I'm still getting the not enough space message when I try and open up word
can anyone help me please cos I am at a bit of a loss
( and its probably something simple I'm missing too)
Thanks

Try the solution mentioned here: "Not enough memory" error message when you start Word 2000 or Excel 2000. G
Or, OFF97: Cannot Start Word or Excel0 -
I'm running Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007
I'll try the repair feature on there, cheers goofy

I'm no expert, but that HT log looks OK to me.
Have you tried doing what my first link suggests about renaming those files - at least the same ones that also exist in MOE2007 - then running the repair/reinstall wizard? G0 -
according to my search there is no files of that name on my system??
Think I might just have to uninstall and then reinstall and see what happens0 -
any luck on the re-installing kipper?

Bumpy Bump cos I still need some advice
Did a fresh install of office, got my task manager processes down to the minimum ( thank you Jamesy
) to gain more memory
and word and excel still won't run due to " not enough memory or disk space"
I've now got 24GB spare and my memory is at about 550MB's
word was obviously running on less than that before, so why has it all of a sudden packed up
any help really gratefully recieved
