Not Enough Memory - Excel 97

[LC]

Everytime I work on a file in Excel from a floppy disk (A
drive), I generally ALWAYS will get a "Not Enough Memory"
message when I try to print.

Sometimes I get this message when I am working on a file
(editing)and I try to save, I will get this message.

I am using Excel 97 & have had this program on 2 computers
and the very same thing happens. The programs were from
two different disks, so it's not just a disk problem. Is
there a problem with Excel 97 itself?

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

When you open a file in Excel, a temporary copy is made. If running from a
floppy there may not be room for the temporary file on the floppy along with
the original file.

Saving to and opening from a floppy or any removable media is a recipe for
disaster. Unreadables and corrupt files will result.

Floppies are for transporting files, not for working from.

Save to your hard drive then copy to floppy.

Copy from the floppy to hard drive before attempting to open a file.

This advice is not just for Excel, but any application and files.

Thanks.... : )

I meant to say also that it will hang up everything on the
computer & I have to reboot to use any other programs.
