2 GB of memory over 1 GB of memory free, and outlook complains of being out of memory
I have a problem where Outlook Express complains of being out of memory, yet
I have 2 GB of memory and over 1 Gb of free physical memory. I often can not reply to post, or even open new windows in IE. Any ideas on this? Thanks, David Hettel Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.

2 GB of memory over 1 GB of memory free, and outlook complains of being out of memory
General precautions for Outlook Express:
Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible. After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while working *offline* and do it often. Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed. Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}. And backup often.

2 GB of memory over 1 GB of memory free, and outlook complains of being out of memory
Most "out of memory" errors in Windows programs indicate a data file
corruption rather than a lack of memory. What happens is the program goes to ask for memory allocation based on corrupted data and asks for a ridiculous amount. If the problem occurs in OE when clicking the Send button in a message composition window, I would first suspect a corrupted Outbox.dbx file since all messages (mail and news) are written to the file when you click send - Close Outlook Express. - OE5+: Locate the file outbox.dbx in the mail directory and delete it. You can use Start, Find (or Search), Files or Folders, outbox.dbx to find it. On Win2000 you need enable the display of Hidden or System files in the folder options and XP you need to use the advanced options to find Hidden or System files. (You can also determine the location by looking in OE at Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder.) - Open Outlook Express again. It will create a new empty Outbox. Use the following newsgroup for questions or problems with IE6 news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...er.ie6.browser You can also get to the Internet Explorer newsgroups via this web site: http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.mspx There select Internet Explorer -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "David Hettel" wrote in message ...

Thank you David, it is always helpful when someone posts a solution.
I checked in W2003 Enterprise Server and the values there differ a bit, like this. %SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,3072,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16 While the article gives %SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,3072 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:GdiServerDllInitialization,4 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16 Out of interest what did you have running at the time?

2 GB of memory over 1 GB of memory free, and outlook complains of being out of memory
Well I am running Media Center 2005 and my values where as your for W2003
Enterprise Server, I took a chance and increased the 512, value by 256 to 768. The install is less than a week old. I had Outlook, Outlook Express, Internet Explorer (about 12 windows open), and eWallet open at the time, along with a number of IBM programs that open in the background normally. As I read this article the 512 value should have been well beyond what I needed. Windows Task Manager shows me at about 93 to 95 Processes generally. Before I made the change I would show that I was using a little less than 1 GB of my 2 GB of memory. Now I seem to be using perhaps a little less memory. I tested a little after making the change and was able to open 32 Internet Explorer windows, before I got bored with opening windows. Before the change I would hit a wall at around 24 Internet Explorer windows, where I could no longer open windows, and sometimes it would occur with as few as 12 windows, or when I clicked on Reply Group. -- David Hettel Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Well I guess we have to wait and see for a while then. I guess it may be a
task that's not returning memory properly or something so maybe the unusually high setting is now avoiding that. Charlie "David Hettel" wrote in message ...
