disk full error in excel

[knight4]

I have been having a problem with a spreadsheet file that we are workin
on.
Many users are using the file without problems, but one user gets th
error "Disk full" when trying to save the file.
I have checked the size of the hard disk and it is 24gb with 17gb free
The file size we are trying to save is 10mb, so we know there i
plenty of room.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be here? On
thing i did notice is that although windows explorer reports th
correct hard disk capacity, drivespace reports it as 2gb with no use
space at all. this is in windows 98. Could this be related to th
problem. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

I solved this problem by increasing the virtual memory (Windows pag
file) size on my computer

I would suggest you first read the info on Virtual Memory here by Alex Nichol

For Win98 memory management and the swapfile usage go to this site.

You would be best off just leaving memory management to Windows.
