Outlook 2007 is using over 1.6GB of virtual memory "John_Royce" <john.verdicchio[ at ]btinternet.com> 07.09.2006 20:54:24 I have seen similar postings to my problem on this group before, but have not seen any answers. Every time I start Outlook 2007, it uses 1.6GB of virtual memory. I found this from the task manager. I can not see why. The folder size is 23056 KB and the outlook.pst is 41681KB. No amount of deleting old/large emails appears to have any effect.I have tried running scanpst.exe Again, to no effect. Given I only have 1GB of real memory, the disk is paging like crazy, so my machine is not particulary responsive. I'm on the point of stopping using outlook because of this. Anyone with any solutions?

Download and install the latest version of WDS from Microsoft (released in the last couple of weeks) and see if it makes a difference. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Although the newer WDS gives a slightly better looking interface on the desktop, unfortunately it has not corrected the problem. Outlook is still running at 1.6GB of virtual memory. Any other ideas? Does anyone know someone in Microsoft to contact about this?
