Outlook 10.6822.6830
Win XP Pro 5.1.2600.2180
I was trying to attach 50 gallons of 140 degree water to a message to needy
relatives in SE who are caught in insurance company feedback loop.
Water Heater is legacy analog device.
I dug around and found a USB 1.1 liquid digitizer in one of my spare cable
boxes. It's only a 5mm feed which is probably all that USB 1.1 can handle
anyway.
I had to add about 6 USB extension cables to get to my machine.
The Attachment dialog seemed to work fine. Heater appeared as Legacy Liquid
State Storage Device and I was prompted to enter the quanity.
It initially looked as though everything was working fine, although no
progress bar was displayed. CPU was running at 3% and I could see that it
was taking little bites of memory, but not at any threatening rate.
I let it run for several hours. CPU gradually crept up to 15%, which I
don't understand. Memory usage was up to around 300MB which was still way
short of what was available. There was, at most, sporadic disk activity.
Digitizer cable felt warm, which seemed to indicate that it was working.
But Task Manager continuously reported Outlook as Not Responding.
So I finally cancelled Outlook. The cancellation only took a few seconds so
there can't have been much in the way of cleanup. Automatic Error Reporting
did not respond with a link.
I can't rule out that it just needed more time. I can't seem to find the
documentation for the digitizer so I don't know how fast it should work.
I'm hoping that someone here has experience with my problem because
otherwise I have an awful lot of permutations to experiment with. I know I
should have started with just a gallon or so, but I expected it to just work.
Questions:
Are 6 USB extension cables too many? I could use a laptop and eliminate
them. That would give me Outlook 11 but less memory and disk space.
Is there some limit on quantity or temperature in Outlook? Are those limits
higher if I upgrade to Office 2007?
Is this a security thing? Do I have to add H2O to the Outlook file
extensions in the registry?
TIA
