HELP! Outlook 2007: 'Out of memory or system resources' 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! --Randy "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: I would go to control panel, mail and make a new profile using a completely 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. |

HELP! Outlook 2007: 'Out of memory or system resources' Issue
Yes. That's one of the first tips I came across. BTW, I performed the
procedure in one of the help files you & Diane provided (same info) & it worked like a charm. I'm keeping my fingers crossed? I can't remember if it said so in the help file but I can now safely remove the old profile using the Mail applet., correct? Thanks!

HELP! Outlook 2007: 'Out of memory or system resources' Issue
Well, I encountered a hiccup! In the help file I used it stated that one
could delete the .pst file created when the new profile was created. I did so. I just returned to the profile to remove the 'new' data file & a dialog box opened with the following info: "You cannot delete this data file. Configuration information in the file is being copied to your new default data file. You can delete the file after this information is copied." Perhaps I can remove after a reboot?

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: http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/2007_profile.htm "Kathleen Orland" wrote: Have you checked your virtual memory and set it at twice the amount of RAM that you have installed?

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

HELP! Outlook 2007: 'Out of memory or system resources' Issue
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? "RDU" wrote in message ...
