Cannot attach files to new e-mails??

[Guest]

Office 97sr2 installed, installed Outlook 2000.
Since installing Outlook 2000, I'm unable to attach files to a new e-mail.
The problem is only on 1 pc!

I get an error which says "out of memory or system resources. close some
windows or programs and try again"

Have tried the following with no success
- created new outlook profile
- increased page file size
- uninstalled office97 & outlook 2000
- service pack pc (winnt 4 workstation)
- ran reg clean
- reinstalled office97 (without outlook97) into new directory
- installed outlook 2000 into new directory
- tried logging in as different user

I've looked on the web but didn't find anything relative to my problem.

Has anybody seen this problem before?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, I've had a similar but never found the real answer. The issue in
my case seemed to be caused by mis-matched Office versions - I could
get it to work fine with Outlook 97 or 98. My solution was to
re-install and forget about Outlook 2000 (I used 98 with the add-ons
that made it fairly close to 2000's operations). I'm quite sure the
same would work if you used Office 2000. Of course, it was hit or
miss, some of them installed exactly the same way worked fine.

There was also a way to register Office 97 in the user registry that
did not happen automatically with install - something like "regserver
/msword" command (sorry I don't remember it exactly, it's been a
while) that took care of similar issue, if you're not installing it
for each user on the machine (administrative install), you need to
manually register it for each user while they are logged on - and that
can only happen if your user has Local Admin rights at the time...

Keep in mind that all of my clients OS at the time was Win2000p
workstation, but I assume NT4wks is similar in nature. And also keep
in mind that Office 97 is a dinosaur that has a real adaptation
problem with newer OS's ;-)

HTH.
