Can't launch outlook new message after 800+

We are using a winbatch script to try to flood our network with SMTP and POP3 traffic..
We are using a Winbatch script to send all the files in a folder using the following logic:
1. Create a list of all the files in the folder
2. For each file in the folder
2a. Load the file into wordpad (or later on Word) and copy the content to the clipboard (alt-e, l, alt-e, c)
2b. Create a new MS Outlook email message
2c. Fill in the message To:, CC:, and BCC with addresses from a configuration file
2d. Fill in the subject line using the file name
2e. Tab to the "message body" abd paste from the clip board (alt-e, p)
2f. Send the message using alt-s (I had to use the !s from winbatch to do the same as an alt-s hot key)

After about 600 files are sent, the little flashlight starts circling in the wordpad open file dialog.
After about 800 files are sent, I can't launch the new outlook message any more (not enuf memory).


We are running on Dell pcs running windows XP with XP Office
I was able to run this same winbatch script on the same Dells running Windows 2000.
