My office is currently experiencing a problem in OUTLOOK 2000. The problem is when an individual attempts to add an attachment to an outgoing e-mail, the error "out of system resources, please close open folders and try again" pops up. Has anyone else seen this before?

The platform this problem is occurring on is an NT 4.0 sp6a workstation. No there are no other applications running and all processes are accounted for and normal.

Hello,
Although you state that your system is operating NT4SP6a, you do not say the RAM size ..

One suggestion is that the paging files & the registry size are low & that you will need to increase the size to a minimum of 250Mb ...

I experienced this problem recently, and found that this was the solution that I used to solve the problem.

One other possible cause is that the user has not carried out any housekeeping. Due to the operation of WinNT, I'd suggest that you run a housekeeping batchfile upon their system - I've given one to a couple of my users as a test & found that they generally have less problems than most users of the same experience & capability.
