Microsoft Outlook help?

[Samdy Gray]

Try turning on your hidden files. From any folder go to Tools > Folder Options > click the View tab then part way down click 'Show hidden files and folders'. Then search again.

[Bushey Boy]

[Bushey Boy]

I think you won't have to buy new one...I guess tommorow when you turn on your pc everything could be ok...

[Samdy Gray]

Nope, work tomorrow.

Just have a search on google. Type something like 'outlook out of memory'. You'll be surprised how helpful the internet is!

[Bushey Boy]

Bartek I hope so!

It could be one of these issues:

1) You're low on virtual memory. You can change this in windows it's simple enough to do

OR

2) There's a corrupt email on the server which is causing the problem.

OR

3) Somehow Outlook has become corrupted.

SOLUTIONS:

1) Right click on 'my computer' and select 'properties'. Click on the 'advanced' tab and then 'performance'. Go to the 'advanced' tab in the new menu that pops up. Make sure the 'system managed' option is checked.

This also brings up another issue - you may not have enough space on your hard drive. How much space is on there?

2) Can you open the email in a browser to check? If so do that and see if there is an email in there that could be causing the problem. If so delete it.

3) To do a system restore go to the start menu and select 'all programs'. Then after that go to 'accessories' then 'system tools' and click on 'system restore'. On the menu that pops up select 'restore computer to earlier time' then click next. Click on one of the bold dates before the problem started to happen, then follow the menu through to the end. You will not lose any files that have been created/changed since that restore date.

You wont beleive this, but just as i was about to post pretty much what si pie posted, my putah crashed!

Ran spyware and apparantly i picked up a bug from one of the wallsall sites i'd been on.

All's well now though! Took me a while mind.

Hope you are sorted now bushey!

[Samdy Gray]

He'll probably just by a new laptop this morning, flash git.

[Bushey Boy]

Im gonna try and do what si pi said, this will be interesting!

[Bushey Boy]

No luck si pi, it couldnt do a system restore.  Would it be useful to go and get an up to date norton anti virus? computer shop said they cant do anything for 8 days!
