Outlook conumes all resources

[Ron Harter]

Sometime in the last week, I am not sure when, I leave outlook running after about 4 hours it hangs up. There is a message that outlook pops up about no memory available. When I look at Task Manager it shows Outlook has grown and the system has no free memory. The memory allocated is cover 1G. Also Outlook is using 50% or more of the available CPU bandwidth.

Is this a known problem? I haven't installed anything new. Is hits a virus or something my virus detection can't recognize? Has anyone come across this problem?

Thanks in Advance

Hard to say without any configuration information.
Version of Outlook?
Type of mail account?

My guess is a faulty addin. Which ones do you have installed?

I found an "iTunes" add-in that got installed. I removed it and things seem
to be back to normal

Thanks for the quick response.
