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

Sorry, but another follow-up. Since I deleted the .pst file I mentioned in my
subsequent post, now every time I open OL with the new profile a dialog box
pops up wanting me to open the old .pst file. I used the following step after
setting the newly created profile to 'default':

8.Select the PST Outlook created when it created the profile and click
Remove. If you want, click Open folder to find and delete this PST.

This came from the following help file:

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!

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.

Well Kathleen, upon opening OL this morning with the newly created profile
from yesterday, I'm back to square one...out of memory or system
resources...!!! Obviously there's something else in play here. I ran the
Vista Memory Diagnostics tool & it reported no problems. In addition, when OL
is loaded I monitor syatem resources, & CPU usage averages about 30%. I also
ran scanpst.exe & it did find errors & repaired them to no avail. I then
tried to run in Safe Mode & stil got the out of memory dialog! ARGH! :-)
--Randy

PS: I'm going to do a system reboot now to see if it has any affect.

Have you disabled all the extraneous stuff with Outlook 2007?

Disable RSS feeds, etc. Goto Tools - Trust Center and click the Add-ins tab.
There's a GO button at the bottom of the dialog screen, click that button
and uncheck (disable or even remove) the Outlook add-ins (like
GoogleDesktop, iTunes Add-in, Acrobat PDF Maker, Mindjet Mindmanager, etc)
that you no longer use.

[Do not disable the Windows Search Indexing addin]

If you have upgraded to Outlook 2007 from Outlook 2003 or XP, chances are
that the old addins may not compatible with the new release and may be the
reason behind the slugging performance of Outlook, or it's hogging of
memory.

If you still get out of memory or system resouces errors, have you actually
checked in the task manager processes to see what is actually using the
most memory?

Firstly, after a reboot I was able to open OL in Safe Mode.

I've not disable anything in OL to this point but can to see if I still
encounter the problem.

My upgrade from 2003 to 2007 was years ago when 2007 was released & I've
only ecountered minor problems from time to time since doing so. Thus, this
wouldn't be an issue.

Yes, I have TM open all the time & have checked, & it varies as to what
process is consuming the most.

Bingo on disabling Add-ins...that did the trick! Now, I'll add back one by
one until I find the culprit.

Turns out the culprit was the BCM add-in. Obviously it had become corrupted
as I'd used it forever. Do you happen to know any tip pages on fixing or
repairing BCM? Thanks.

Two final questions...I hope! During the new profile creation a new .pst file
was created. I can safely remove it from the account settings since the
original file is now set to default, correct? Also, I can go ahead & delete
the old profile?

Correct and I wouldn't delete anything until I know what I recreated works

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!

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.

I still continue to encounter spurious problems with the newly created
profile. I seem to recall that there is a method of creating an entirely new
profile then importing messages, etc. into it, i.e. a clean .pst file with
all settings set to default. Can you point me to a source?

Correct and I wouldn't delete anything until I know what I recreated works

As for BCM, there is a BCM forum, I'll try to find the name of it for you.

Two final questions...I hope! During the new profile creation a new .pst
file
was created. I can safely remove it from the account settings since the
original file is now set to default, correct? Also, I can go ahead &
delete
the old profile?

Have you disabled all the extraneous stuff with Outlook 2007?

Disable RSS feeds, etc. Goto Tools - Trust Center and click the Add-ins
tab.
There's a GO button at the bottom of the dialog screen, click that
button
and uncheck (disable or even remove) the Outlook add-ins (like
GoogleDesktop, iTunes Add-in, Acrobat PDF Maker, Mindjet Mindmanager,
etc)
that you no longer use.

[Do not disable the Windows Search Indexing addin]

If you have upgraded to Outlook 2007 from Outlook 2003 or XP, chances
are
that the old addins may not compatible with the new release and may be
the
reason behind the slugging performance of Outlook, or it's hogging of
memory.

If you still get out of memory or system resouces errors, have you
actually
checked in the task manager processes to see what is actually using
the
most memory?

Well Kathleen, upon opening OL this morning with the newly created
profile
from yesterday, I'm back to square one...out of memory or system
resources...!!! Obviously there's something else in play here. I ran
the
Vista Memory Diagnostics tool & it reported no problems. In addition,
when
OL
is loaded I monitor syatem resources, & CPU usage averages about 30%.
I
also
ran scanpst.exe & it did find errors & repaired them to no avail. I
then
tried to run in Safe Mode & stil got the out of memory dialog! ARGH!
:-)
