Outlook 2003 is using up all my memory

Reno_Raider · 01-29-2009, 10:49 AM

Outlook 2003 is using up all my memory. I went out and bought another stick of ram to bump my total up to 2 gigs and Outlook promptly consumed that as well. Tried to google the problem and got no hits. Any help is appreciated.

Check if you have any addins associated with outlook
click start => run => type outlook /safe click on Ok and then check the performance.

Reno_Raider - How much memory is it using? Outlook 2003 goes up to 200 MB on my computer, then drops down to 15 MB when I minimize it. So I wrote a utility to automatically minimize inactive Outlook windows every 60 seconds (or however long you choose). http://jonaquino.blogspot.com/2009/11/autominimizeoutlookexeworkaround-for.html
