Database issues while laptop is docked

[Derrick]

I have a user who is receiving the following error: "there isn't enough free
memory to update the display. Close unneeded programs and try again."

This only seems to happen while the laptop is docked from startup, if she
undocks, pulls up the database, then redocks, the error does not appear. Has
anyone else seen this problem or know what is different from the
OS/Application perspective when the machine is docked? The user is also
plugging in to the network via ethernet when undocked, and when docked the
docking station takes over the network card duties (in case it is a problem
related to the network card in the docking station).

Thanks in advance

I am getting this on a dell desktop running vista with 2gb. I have to close
Access and reload to get over it for a time. No forms, reports, just
composing and running hand-crafted queries on fairly large data set (800k
rows)
So forms, reports, docking stations all seem to be incidental rather than
causative.
Still looking for a fix.

The laptops I'm having this issue on are also Dells, though I'm guessing
that's more a coincidence than anything. At one point early on in my
troubleshooting I noticed that the issue only seemed to occur for the main
user on the machine, if I logged on as myself I didn't get this problem. So
I wiped the user profile and created a new one, which fixed the issue for
several months.

There are currently two laptops here that are having this issue, both of
them using Dell docking stations and 2 LCDs. One of them is able to get
around this by undocking her computer then redocking it, the other shuts down
his secondary monitor.

I hope that helps, and let me know if you find a fix.
Thanks,
Derrick
