Microsoft Office 2013 Forum

Version of Crossover 16.0, I used WIndows 7 32-bit bottle and installed Office 2013 32-bit (Home and small business version) without a hitch, but when I try to run Excel (open a new blank workbook) i get this message:

Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.

• To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
• To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to.

Word does not give such a message and it is possible to open a new file and start working on it. Did anyone have a similar issue and do you know how to resolve it? I really need Excel to work or using crossover makes no sense to me... Already purchased a licence based on the information that it supports Microsoft Office 2013 now :-/ not happy at the moment!

EDIT:
Opening an existing Excel workbook is working fine. Even my simple macro is working in one of the files. Only opening the Blank Workbook pops up the above message and stops further execution. Current workaround: open one of the existing files, delete the worksheets and start from there...

This is a known problem in the Windows registry and it commonly happens in actual Windows installations too. An entry in the registry is pointing to a temp directory that cannot be accessed. To solve the problem in Crossover 16:

• Open CrossOver
• Go to the Microsoft_Office_2013 bottle
• Double clic the Run Command...
• In the Command text box enter regedit.exe and hit the Run button
• In the Registry Editor locate the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
• Change the value of the Cache key to c:\windows\temp
• Close the Registry Editor and the Run Command window

If everything was done right, Excel 2013 should create blank sheets and behave correctly without any problem.
