Persistent Crashing on Core Duo iMac

J

John Dough

I have a new Core Duo iMac with 2 gigs of memory. Using Entourage v.x
(10.1.6) under Tiger 10.4.7.

Starting with today I have been getting repeated crashes with Entourage.

I keep getting the message (in a window with the Entourage program icon) "
could not open that feature. Not enough memory. Sometimes this happens when
no other programs are running. Sometimes it happens when I try to view the
calendar. Sometimes it happens when I just try to open the program.

The first time I had a problem, I just opened Entourage with the option
button down and rebuilt the database. That did not help. Since then, if I
hold the option button down while opening Entourage I don't even get the
window that prompts me about rebuilding the database -- it just opens.

This is really a problem. I use Entourage because I prefer this approach to
the separate Mail, Calendar, Address Book programs that Apple supplies. I
did not upgrade to 2004, because this version has all the features I need.

Am I correct in assuming that Office X 2004 would not run any better on this
system than Office X, since both have to go through the Rosetta emulator
anyway?

What are my options here? My email, addresses, and calendar are too
important to just blow off. I would also hate to lose all I have invested in
collecting cute little quotations in my signature files as well as all of
the rules I have developed for filtering out junk mail.

John,

Had the same problem. Had no response from the gurus on this list.
Ended up disabling the E2004 Spam filter (use SpamSieve instead - works
much better anyway) which seemed to fix the problem for a while. Often
it's a font problem. Run Font Book.app on all your fonts and make sure
there's nothing corrupt in there. I presume that you have repaired
disk permissions via Disk Utility. A restart will however invariably
resolve the problem. My crashes seem to have disappeared completely
now.

Good luck.
