Ugly Outlook 2003 Problem - Out of Memory

Hopefully someone can give me a quick answer to this problem...

I just upgraded my Office XP installation to Office 2003 Enterprise. Now,
whenever I try to open an email or calendar item, task or note, I get the
following error:

"Can't open this item. Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows
or programs and try again."

I have tons of diskspace and memory available. I am running on Windows
Server 2003.

Any ideas?

Solved it. It turned out to be the MS Exchange connection. Changed it to
"Use Cached Exchange Mode" then changed it back, and everything worked fine.

I posted in a message in microsoft.public.outlook that involves the same
error message, but it may not relate to your situation.

The subject of the message in case you're interested is: Outlook 2003:
Message Box Appears: "Can't open this item. Out of memory or system
resources. Close some or programs and try again"

FYI. Best of luck.

Try minimizing Outlook 2003 to release the lion's share of its memory.
