What to do if you get an out of memory or not enough resources message Microsoft Excel users will sometimes get a message that says their computer is out of memory, enough system resources to display completely, cannot complete this task with available resources or Excel can not open workbook with available resources. Excel 2007-2016 users tend to see them more than Excel 2003 users. Microsoft re-wrote large portions of Excel when they released 2007. This re-write appears to have affected memory usage.

The conclusion we reached from the much testing is that COM add-ins are the major cause of memory issues. • COM add-ins sneak onto your PC without permission (or clearly asking).

• • The two COM add-ins we have seen that cause memory issues are Adobe and Blue Tooth. We have never seen a need for them in Excel.

They should be removed immediately. • COM add-ins are compiled computer code that manages their own memory. Often at the expense of Excel, especially if they are badly written. Ususally you can run one COM add-in without issues. Two is like walking on thin ice.

Three or more - just wait for the crash. It will happen. • VBA add-ins (the kind we write) are not compiled and are called Excel add-ins and do not cause memory issues. Excel manages memory for them. We have had all of our add-ins open at one time and no memory issues. The following are steps one can take that may solve memory problems.

It is also possible that none of these steps will solve. Memory problems are often difficult to solve. We have tried to order the steps from easy to do to hard to do. And from inexpensive to expensive. The number one thing you can do: If you have any COM add-ins installed, un-install them unless they are absolutely required. COM add-ins are a special type of add-in written in machine language. They are often installed without explicit approval.

COM add-ins are often reported as causing memory problems (our add-ins are not COM add-ins). Two frequently mentioned as problems are Blue-Tooth and Adobe COM addins. To un-install COM add-ins: • If you are using Excel 2003, download our free and use it to un-install the COM add-ins. • If you are using Excel 2007, click the round Office Button, Excel Options, Add-ins, change the dropdown box to COM add-ins and click Go.

• If you are using Excel 2010-2016, click File, Options, Add-ins, change the dropdown box to COM add-ins and click Go. The easiest way to run out of memory and get the message 'Excel can not complete the task with available resources.' Is to have 1) Multiple Excel sessions open and 2) other applications open. Run only one Excel session. Print shop software for mac free. Many Excel users will open new Excel sessions each time a new workbook is opened via double clicking on a workbook link. To see if you have multiple sessions open, press ALT-CTL-DELETE and check how any Excel applications are running.

There should be just one running. Regarding other applications, it depends on what they are and how much memory they need before a problem happens. If a new Excel session opens each time you double click on a workbook, try unchecking the Excel Option 'Ignore other applications' if it is checked on the Options General tab. We have gotten reports that the 64 bit version of Office 2010 has memory problems if other Office program are open. We do not recommend using the 2010 64 bit version of Excel.
