alright, this crap is weird... im running win2k professional and outlook2k. Every once in a while, when im working on it, i get a message like "unable to import clipboard, not enough RAM", i do the trusty ctrl-alt-del and pull up the task manager... what the hell is this, ive got photoshop and outlook open and the memory usage meter is about 85% full (i have 128mb RAM)... so i tried closing photoshop, and it only dropped the bar a little bit... maybe to 83%... then i closed outlook... WTF? it dropped memory usage about 60%!! any reasons why? i do have a LOT of emails in outlook, but who would have thought that could cause such a memory hogging.

Go to the Processes tab of Task Manager and find out what's eating up CPU time and memory there...
