SYMPTOMS

If you are running Publisher under Windows NT 3.51, you may receive the following message if you click Print Setup on the File menu or choose the Print Setup button in the Page Setup dialog box:

Windows is low on memory. Please save your work and close other programs before you continue working.

If you click OK, you can continue to work on your publication; you just can't run Print Setup.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if your publication is set up for a network printer, and the connection to that printer is lost.

RESOLUTION

If restore your connection to the network printer, the Print Setup dialog box will return.

If you want to print your publication to a different printer, click Print on the File menu and choose a different printer from the Print dialog box.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
