I have had to restart Outlook 2007 3 times this weekend, and when I checked
the last time, it has 10,000 GDI Objects. That's gotta be a leak, right?
Background:
I've been having difficulty on my brand new Laptop lately because it seemed
to run out of system resource or something. It came with XP preinstalled and
I first blamed it on that, so I upgraded to XP business. I wiped the machine
instead of upgrading and re-installed Office 2007. My machine is a Dell
Inspiron 9400 with 2gb memory and the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS video card,
perfectly adequate for Vista. At first, didn't notice too much, but I am a
stickler for shutting down my machine instead of using standby/hibernate, and
I didn't notice any issues at first. However, this weekend, I've had it on
all weekend, and I have now had to kill Outlook 2007 3 times. This last
time, I checked Process Explorer and it had 10,000 GDI Objects. The symptoms
were that when I would go to Outlook after leaving my laptop sit for several
hours, it would work at first, and then I would open an email and it would
not paint it. I would close it, and the main window wouldn't paint. I know
that 10,000 GDI objects is way too many for it to have open and the number is
way too round a number to be a coincidence. I did have the option turned on
to "Provide Feedback with Sound" and have turned that off in case it is
causing the issue. The only other thing I know that is installed that
interacts with Outlook is my virus protection which is McAfee VirusScan
Enterprise 8.5i.
