Office crashes and Autosave malfunction

[Insecurities]

Having serious trouble. My IT department have told me to seek a forum for advice... hahah

Office Package Crashes:

Currently I have been having issues with the total Office package. The size of the files that I create are seemingly too big for Office to cope.

As a result, they crash. The message tells me that there is infufficient memory at referenced memory 010001001 blah bla blah what ever it is its never the same (See print Screen)Print_Screen_Error_110906.doc, then I click ok and the application closes. So far this has happened with only Word and Excel.

Attempted fixes include-

Reimaging, de-fragging, upgrades in ram, Hard drive upgrade, Zip, even setting Excel and Word to Low priority in the task mananger. I was also told its an operator error by a "specialist" from IT, I threw a hole punch at him...

Is there something that I havent looked at yet?

Autosave Malfunction:

As per my errors above I have also encountered an issue with my Autorecovery in Word. Please correct me if I am wrong but the function of the Autorecovery is that it saves the modifications to a document at predetermined intervals, so that IF a malfunction should occur you dont loose ALL modifications.

If this is the case I have autorecovery set to 10minute intervals and it is yet to recover the data after a crash.... Why? What can I do besides saving every 2.5 minutes.
