Cannot update object. Windows may be low on memory or disk space, or an object may not be correctly registered.

When you double-click the object:

Publisher cannot launch or communicate with the OLE server program needed to complete this task.

There may not be enough disk space, or there may be a problem with the server program. To make more disk space available, delete some unneeded files on your hard disk. If you suspect a problem with the server program, try reinstalling it. Then try this task again.
