Vista - Office Assistant

07-08-2007

Hi, I keep getting this message "There is not enough memory available to
complete this operation" when I try and change the office assistant.

I just got a new computer with Vista. Memory isn't the problem.

Help!!

Thanks

Is there a way to get the office assistant to run under Office 2007
for word and excel?

Thanks,
