Correct and I wouldn't delete anything until I know what I recreated works
100%.
As for BCM, there is a BCM forum, I'll try to find the name of it for you.

Two final questions...I hope! During the new profile creation a new .pst
file
was created. I can safely remove it from the account settings since the
original file is now set to default, correct? Also, I can go ahead &
delete
the old profile?

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?

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!
:-)

PS: I'm going to do a system reboot now to see if it has any affect.

Have you checked your virtual memory and set it at twice the

that you have installed?

Thanks much Kathleen! Other than creating a new profile do you
know of
any
other methods to overcome this dreaded 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!

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.
