can't finish previewing, There isn't enough memory

Question

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing an issue when attempting to open two files at the same time in Adobe Illustrator. I keep getting an error message that reads "can't finish previewing, There isn't enough memory" even though I have sufficient memory and disk space (8GB RAM and 256 SSD). This problem is recent; previously, I was able to open and work with three or four files at the same time without issue. I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice on how to resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your help!

8 GB of RAM is the bare minimum to run Illustrator at all. It's not sufficient for certain complex things you might be doing.
