Default HELP! Outlook 2007: 'Out of memory or system resources' Issue

Have you checked your virtual memory and set it at twice the amount of RAM
that you have installed?

Thanks much Kathleen! Other than creating a new profile do you know of any
other methods to overcome this dreaded issue?!

I am desperately trying to locate Diane Poremsky [MVP] who had replied

to
another user (below) re making a new profile or another MVP, or anyone

that
can help! My original, unanswered post follows. Thanks!

Diane--
Your suggestion re making a new profile as I have a different issue in

that
I'm using OL 2007 on Vista Ultimate, not Win 7, & have encountered out

of
the
blue the dreaded 'out of memory or system resources' issue. I saw you

respond
to someone using Win 7 & had my issue via Google but I couldn't find

the
thread here. Anyway, can you provide me wth specific stepwise

instructions
on
your suggestion of "adding the old pst file to the new profile before

opening
Outlook." I did try this by highlighting my troublesome profile in the

Mail
applet but it simply created a new profile with no info from the old

profile
(.pst file). So obviously I'm missing something or there are extra

steps.
BTW, I've run Office Diagnostics with no errors reported & have run
scanpst.exe on the file & it did find errors & repaired them but it

didn't
resolve the issue. Thanks much!

I would go to control panel, mail and make a new profile using a

new name. Add the old pst file to the new profile before opening

Outlook.
If you get errors when you try to add it, the backup process may

have
damaged the pst. Run scanpst on it and try to repair it or get

another
copy
from the backup.
