not enough resources to display completely starting excel 2010

[Boris]

I have just performed a clean install of Office 2010, having totally removed
my Office 2007. I have installed the 64 bit variant, running on my (fairly
new) Sony Vaio with 250 Gb ssd and 6 Gb RAM. I am running windows 7 ultimate
(64 bit). Imagine my surprise that, whenever I start Excel, I get the error
message:
Not enough resources to display completely!!!

I have not opened any workbook, nor do I have any other programs running,
and I am a bit perplexed as to what could be causing this issue. Any ideas?

I did also get some error messages when first starting Word but these seem
to have cleared themselves up after a reboot. And, to be honest, I was
getting a similar error recently when running Excel 2007 (32 bit of course)
but only for a particular file at least that is what I though) which had been
recovered and repaired so I was not overly worried But, following a clean
install and with nothing else running... ...

Any suggestions would be greatly received.

this may seem random, but might be worth a shot... i think this problem often occurs because of registry errors with the fonts... this solution fixes that. if you browse to windows/fonts and immediately get a blue screen, then the fonts are your problem

first try going to control panel > fonts >font settings (on left) > restore default fonts

if you can't access fonts in the control panel then try this... in explorer go here: \\%COMPUTERNAME%\C$\Windows\Fonts (replacing %computername% with your computername).

then hit ctrl+a to select all the fonts.
once they're all selected right click and select "install".

when the dialogue box pops up saying that "[such and such] font is already installed, would you like to reinstall it?" click the box for "do this for all current items", and hit "yes"

reboot (just for grins), and you should be good to go
