Out of memory and Outlook 2000

Yep...  Sure sounds like a security policy issue to me.  Surprised you found a way around it.  In fact I will remember this when I start work next week again.   Thanks for bringing it to my attention..!  :)

This happens to any users including administrator when they log onto the domain, they cant attach attachments. If I log on locally its okay .

Are you getting an error message when you attempt to attach?

Yes I am..  The message that appears "Not enough system memory or resources, close some windows, and try again." but this doesnt appear if I "log onto this computer"

Thanks

1.  Delete all your temp and your temporary Internet files.  In IE, go to Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files button.  Ck the box  Delete All Offline Content and press OK

Then open up Windows Explorer and go to your profile in Documents and Settings (W2K and XP).  Drill down to Local Settings (This is a hidden folder and you may have to Unhide it).  Open up Temp folder and delete all you Temp Files.

2.  Try increasing the amount of your page file.  This is done via your System Properties window.  Go to Advanced tab > Performance settings button >  Advanced tab > Virtual Memory button.  Create a custom size of 2.5 times the amount of RAM you have in the system.  If you have more than one partition, you should make a custom size of 1 X Ram for the system partition, and 1.5 X Ram on the second partition.

Let us know if this helped..

I suspect the message is a red herromg, like most MS messages. It appears to me that your sysadmin has blocked sending attavchments, and by logging in to the local computer you have found a backdoor.

the machine is a P4 with 512 RAM . I think there is enough space there.

"Out of  memory" messages in  Windows never refer to RAM. They refer to system resources. However, you don't have system resource problems on W2K or XP, so I presume the message has come up because the program doesn't have an error message to deal with what has happened, and so picks this one almost at random.

Actually, although it may not be the case in this instance, Out of Memory messages can be thrown out to you if you do not have enough RAM or your page file is too small....  Never say Never....

For instance:

Also, it could be a printer driver:

It could also be a corrupted mail store.  I will try to find a link to an article discussing this.

Just a shot in the blue

If you logon to the network/domain I can imagine that a profile is used. In this profile there might also be a pathsetting where to store the message for instance youre private folder. If there is not enough memory (space left) then this message might turn on. In this case the sollution might be to larger the space of the drive (mapping) where the sent message should be strored.

I ended up installing Outlook XP instead. It seems to work now.

Thanks for all your help

That is one way to go about a fix...  Glad you got it running again though..

Just install outlook XP instead. That works fine.
