I use a Mac laptop, Have enough HD storage, but 2 Gb of memory. I emptied trash, runs well, use " clean my Mac" program.
I have an excel file password protected that gives me the " not enough storage" error message. Suggestions? Thanks.

Likely a corrupted file. Have you tried opening the file on another system?

Is it a really big file and you've only got a small amount of ram?
