My company recently bought me a new PC which came with Windows 7. Our IT department re-loaded office 2007 as well all my other programs. Since moving on to Windows 7 and have came accross 2 problems:

1) Windows often closes down my Excel files-I have 4GB of memory and sometimes I only have 1 or 2 workbooks open and Windows comes up with a message that an error has occurred and is trying to recover the documents

2) From time to time, When I have 2 or 3 workbooks open, and try to open another file and a message comes up that there is not sufficient resources. This is impossible as I have 4GB of memory and the other programs that may be open are small.

I never experienced this using XP where my ram was only 2GB

Your assistance in resolving these issues will be most appreciated
