Hi Linda, You are right, when I just press ok everything works as normal. I thought it might be a virus and ran the virus checker several times without finding anything. Something I thought about though. The particular notes file contained lots of web addresses to different programs I wanted to download at some point. One of the last entries in that note was a direct download which meant that the end of the address contained something like "filename.exe" and the auto preview pain was on. Would it be possible that outlooks security feature was seeing this as some kind of threat and was trying to prevent me from opening that file up but while doing it was generating this error. With Front Page it too is a program dealing with web addresses and maybe something similar was going on but thanks for the info Linda. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Linda F.

I've seen this happen on quite a few machines running Office XP programs. It happens to me A LOT when I run FrontPage 2002. However, if I just click OK, everything I want to do works fine. So, though I can't help you get rid of the message, I can tell you that most of the time, you just click OK and everything works. Typical Microsoft, eh?

I use the notes feature of outlook quite a bit and still do now that I have moved to outlook 2002. When I now go to open up a particular note file which contains web page references I get an "out of memory message" and am told to quite one or more windows and try the file again. I only have outlook open up and my speech software package which I need. I never had this problem before with win 2k or outlook 2000 and hadn't the problem when I open this file the first few times in office xp, it just started all of a sudden. I have 256 megs of memory and a 20 gb hard drive. Any thoughts much appreciated. Paul. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
