Hi, whenever i try to reply an email, Outlook will prompt that there is not enough memory to carry on.

I have to relogin again, inorder to reply the email.

anyone knows what could be the cause of this? And how to fix it?

How much memory do you actually have?

You could try increasing your paging file size ('virtual memory' - an area of the hard disk your PC uses in a similar way to RAM).
Not sure how to do it in XP exactly but it will be somewhere in the help files!

This is from Win2K help but I'm sure it's a similar process:

To change the size of the virtual memory paging file

Open Computer Management (Local).
In the console tree, right-click Computer Management (Local), and then select Properties.
On the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, and under Virtual memory, click Change.
In the Drive list, click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.
Under Paging file size for selected drive, type a new paging file size in megabytes in the Initial Size (MB) or Maximum Size (MB) box, and then click Set.
If you decrease the size of either the minimum or maximum page file settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. Increases generally do not require a restart.

Notes

You must be recognized as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group on your computer and on the computer you are managing in order to perform this task.
To open Computer Management, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
You can view or change system properties on a remote computer or a local computer. To access a remote computer, right-click Computer Management (Local), click Connect to another computer, and then select the computer you want to connect to in the list.
For best performance, set the initial size to not less than the recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system.
Usually, you should leave the paging file at its recommended size, although you might increase its size if you routinely use programs that require a lot of memory.
