Low Memory error in Outlook

stewartm · 02-06-2005, 01:08 AM

Hi, I have recently been getting a low memory error when trying to open emails.
I am running 512mb ram (upgraded from 256) about 2 month's ago.
I never recieved this error before upgrading. I have to restart the computer to cure the problem.
If I use CTRL+ALT+DEL I dont appear to have any extra programs running in the background than normal.

What's the exact error you're getting?

Thanks for responding.
the exact error message is displayed in a yellow box and reads
"Can't open this item.
Out of memory.
Close some windows programs and try again."
This message is displayed when ever I try to open a new received email or already received emails.
I am running MS Office XP in Windows ME and get the same message if I use IE or Mozilla browser.

Thanks

Stewart
