I am running OLK 2002 SP3 under WIN XP Pro SP2, w/ 512Mb RAM. When I launch
Outlook, the application banner appears and the rest of the launch slows to a
crawl. Using TASK Mgr, I discovered that Outlook is consuming nearly all RAM
and causing WIN XP to increase Virtual Memory on the hard drive. If you leave
Outlook alone for a couple of minutes, it will finally load if no other
applications are loaded. Outlook functionality is intact except that there is
no RAM left to do anything else. If I exit Outlook, the RAM is released or if
I use TASK Mgr to end the process while Outlook is still loading, the RAM is
released. I can start Outlook in SAFE mode with no problem and have complete
functionality, except my preference settings won't save.
I have removed just Outlook and re-installed it. I have removed the entire
Office suite and re-installed it. In each case, I removed all associated
files, including pre-fetch, and ran Registry Fix in between to remove any
vestige of the Outlook installation. None of this has helped.
Any advice would be gladly accepted, Sid
