Hi,

I am using windows 2000 as an operating system. And I am using Outlook 2000. I could not send e-mail.It is remain in outbox. And Send operation is giving error message which is reported below:

"out of memory or system resources. Try closing other programs to free additional memory "

How can I balance RAM performance?

System Resources are not directly related to Ram or Hard disk space.
Check to be sure the latest Service releases are applied. (SR1)

See if any of the following helps. Type the Q number in the search box at support.microsoft.com

OL2000: ErrorMessage "Out of memory. Close some windows or programs and try again."

Also, maybe try clearing the Outbox and Send/Receive again in case you have a bad message.

In addition to that, be sure your temp folder is empty.
Make sure that Journaling is turned off.

You also might try running scanpst.exe on your current pst file.

you dont mention how much Ram you have on the system but try this... Find out how much physical ram you have on the box, Now do a quick sum RAM x 2. now modify your swapfile for this number ie 256Mb RAM = 512MB Swapfile. Set the swapfile with a fixed Start and End 512,512 to prevent fragmentation and reboot, when more ram is required the system will use the swapfile space on the hard drive as virtual memory. You may even see improvement in performance too! If you have Two hard drives, Place the swapfile on the 2nd drive for even better performance.

Enjoy!
