[I HAVE READ OTHER THREADS ON THIS FORUM, WITH THE SAME ISSUE, AND NONE ARE LIKE THIS]
I have a user that is having an issue that no one has been able to solve for some time. I have done EVERY troubleshooting idea I have found, with no success. I have given up and seeking help from the experts! This is the exact error message:
"Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications."
This file she is opening is quite small (300kb), and everyone else in her group can access these files in the same way with no issues. She has a basic company build with nothing fancy on it, literally identical to other peoples machines nearby. This error doesn't happen all of the time either. It is very random. This will happen with any files she opens too.
Here is a list of what the user is using:
OS - Windows 7 64-bit / On a domain
Hardware - Dell Optiplex 790 DT
Software - MS Office Professional Plus 2007, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, MS Lync 2010, iSeries V6 R1M0, Java 6u17 (all are company standard stuff, nothing extra)
Here is a list of all the troubleshooting I have done to try to beat this issue:
1. Reinstalled office 2007
2. Started in safe mode (error still occurs / still went through other steps though)
3. Renamed Excel.xlb to Excel.xlb.old
4. Checked task manager for other processes running
5. Disabled excel muti-threading
6. Disabled hyper-threading in bios
Any help trying to figure this out would help me and future me's. This issue is annoying and won't seem to go away
Thank you for any assistance; ask any questions and I will reply back quickly with as much detail as I can share.
