UNSOLVED
low memory message
when I try to open Word I receive a message that says I have low memory. It then basically shuts down. I have deleted all gaming programs, deleted many files and down loaded many pictures on Cd's and deleted them. This still did not help. I have cleaned out cookies and deleted files. I removed word from the Programs and reinstalled it. It still will not let me in. I don't seem to be having much trouble with other programs. Everything seems to be running very slow, sometimes the computer freezes and I have to restart it. I pulled up my system Info. and out of my total physical memory of 128 mb. I have 0.01 available. Is there any way to up my memory immediately to let me in word so I can type up a document. I plan on purchasing more memory.
I have a Dimension 81001.3GHz, windows me 128mbRD Ram

nldb5,
Try the following three tips:
1. Locate every copy of "normal.dot" and delete them all.
2. Download "Adaware" and "Spybot Search & Destroy" from www.download.com. Install them and update them. Restart them and scan your computer with each of them separately. Let them fix any and all things that they find.
3. Update your anti virus program. Do a complete scan / clean on your system. If you do not have anti virus, download AVG anti virus from www.download.com. Install it, update it and scan / clean your computer.
Restart your computer, start MS Word and try to create a document. System performance should be substantially improved and MS Word should work OK.
The additional RAM will further help with system performance. Purchase a good quality of RAM. Do not purchase the cheapest stuff you can find.
