Outlook 2003 unable to open mails or contacts

[Jurgen]

After upgrading from Office XP to Office 2003 I am not
bale to access any item in Outlook 2003.

The Error message which will be displayed if I try to open
a message is:

Microsoft Office Outlook:
Out of memory or system resources. Close sone windows or
programs and try again.

Microsoft Office 2003 Professional is running on two
different operating systems:
One is running XP professional,
The other is running Windows server 2003 enterprise
edition.

Always the same result. If I reinstall Outlook from Office
XP Professional I am able to read all mails without any
fault.

If I make a total remove off all office applications,
including a "clean" of the left registry entries, I am
able to read mails after the first initial installation.
If I close the program one time, or reboot, I never be
able again to read mails.

Only way out is "downgrade" to outlook XP.

It must be a known problem if I am able to reproduce it on
two different systems running two different OS version..

Please help!

The solution was:

Creating a new profile using "CACHE mode".

Tried a lot of combinations without success. The only way
out was this.

After the first successfully run in cache-mode I was able
to disable chache mode without future errors.....

I too have experienced this error. After upgrading office
pro from XP to 2003, Outlook will work well for several
hours, but then will not allow me to open any items,
giving me the "Can't open this item. Out of memory or
system resources. Close some windows or programs and try
again." error message. I have tried an office repair, and
have also deleted and recreated my profile. I am
interfaced with and Exchange 5.5 server.

Any advice would be helpful. Since this is my production
system, I will probably back rev to XP, however, I would
still like to know if anyone has any solutions.

Thank you,

JamesT
