Not Enough Storage to complete operation

[Guest]

Hi folks, i'm losing my head here.... Since a few days whenever I try to
save a CorelDraw12 file with embedded Excel files i get an error that says
"Not Enough Storage Available to complete operation". This is bull because i
have just installed a new 60gb harddrive (partitioned in to 18gb and 42gb)
thinking i really didnt have enough space on the old 30gb drive. Always
worked fine before. I strongly believe it is a WinXP problem because if i
google the error message i get alot of microsoft results but none with
solutions. I cannot be certain but if i recall correctly it started after
the latest WinXP security update...

Computer specs: IBM thinkpad @ 1.9ghz, 1gb ram, 60gb 7200rpm hitachi drive,
WinXP Pro SP2. CorelDraw12 SP1, OfficeXP Pro SP3?

Thanks in advance..

Renato

How large is the file you are trying to save? Is it very large, over 4 gig
in size?

The 4 GB problem could exist if the hard drive is formatted with FAT32.
This is a limitation that Microsoft has put into XP. You may want to
convert the hard drive to NTFS.

Hey thanks folks for the responses. Well, file is only 180mb closed and open
it seems to be around 400mb. So it shouldnt be the 4gb problem. Harddrive is
already formatted as NTFS. Got any other ideas?? If i dont get it up by
tomorrow morning i will be forced to go to DOS and type format C: /u and
reinstall everything.

Thanks again.

This is a memory message not disk space.

Thanks, in this case can you expand more on it??? I used to work with files
which were 400mb big closed and had no problems with them. These new problem
files are all under 200mbs closed. I did notice that when open they use over
500mb of ram...well, some paged. On my other computer with 1gb ram they
still work fine.

Thanks again.

It means ERROR_OUTOFMEMORY. But it may not be your program. Is there an error number. It will be
0xE or 14 or 8007000E. 0xE and 14 are hex/deciminal for 14. The 8007 part of 8007000E means that a Com component is returning a Windows Error code (000E or 14).

Type in a command prompt

net helpmsg 14
and you'll see your error description.

All those articles you saw is something saying ERROR_OUTOFMEMORY. It may be a component or an API call rather than the whole application. Your app can't cope with this error so it tells you and terminates (programs decide to crash when they don't know what to do - rather than accidently delete all your files).

In short only corel could know.

You can try this.

Install the Symbols from the XP SP2 Security Update CD. You may need to set an environmental variable (I did the other day but I thought setup had done it previously but if it had something had undone it). The program ntsd will tell you when it starts if you need to.

Type
ntsd yourprogram.exe

Read what it says about symbols.

Type g (for go) in the command prompt. Your program will start. When it crashes it may give you hints where or what component is crashing.

IUserDebugServices::ContinueEvent failed with status 0xD000000D
SuspendThread failed
WaitForEvent failed, NTSTATUS 0xC000000D
"<Unable to get error code text>"

I terminated notepad and this is the error when I said Go. I'm not a C programmer so I can't interpret it for you.

But make sure you have plenty of virtual memory.

If you do and ntsd is all gibberish, send it to corel.

Except that they did *not* do any such thing. 4GB is fundamental to
design of FAT 32, and always has been

Yet another inaccurate assertion from you - please get your facts right

Problem solved. Thanks again everyone for the effort. Final solution was
deleting all the "copied and pasted" excel files and then holding down shift
in excel to copy to copy as bitmap and reinserted into coreldraw and now the
180mb file is only 40mb and works fine!!!!! Not really sure what the hell
the big difference it by doing it this way but as long as it works..... I
did also notice with the old file that at some points in time during the
attemptive save, the mem usage went to 800mb and the pagefile also to around
600mb.... Anyways, I can finally get back to work...

Adios all,
Renato

Glad I'm not the only one who notices.
