TICKET ARCHIVE -> Disk full message

michaelion - Sep 14, 2006 - 9:20 pm

This problem has occurred twice this week on two separate Macs (one a G5 with over 150 GB of available disk space, according to Get Info, the other a G4 power book with something like 40 GB of available disk space). Unannounced, I get a message when I am working in Word saying that the disk is full and I should try closing unnecessary programs etc. It's frustrating because I can't save the changes I've made to a document.I don't understand why it's happening. Any suggestions.

This looks like a fairly common problem, and I don't know why Microsoft hasn't fixed it, but here's some fixes. The first document is a workaround, the others are alternate solutions:

Also, you may want to run Onyx, in case some hidden logs are building up:

If you need me to explain something, don't hesitate to ask.

Good luck!
