Office outlook 2002 eats swap mem

[PBJ_privat]

This is p***ing me off – and killing my PC’s performance!!!

I’m not sure if this is a win XP problem or Office problem ? Suddenly my outlook 2002 (XP) on a XP Pro consumes huge amount of my swap file – 1,8-1,9 GB !!! If I close outlook, I’m back to normal 200-300 MB usage. I don’t get this ? My .pst file is only about 234 mb, so that shouldn’t be it. Funny thing is, this also happens if I replace my own .pst file with a blank one, so it must be something the outlook.exe does by mistake ? I tried everything:

Re installing Office XP ( after a complete remove and re patch with latest service packs – same result, Compacting the datafile (.pst ), Deleting the pagesys file ( if any outlook left overs was there ? )

If I set my page file to fixed size e.g 1 gb, outlook won’t start

I been surfing for 6 hours on the net in MS knowledge database and forums for some one with the same problem. Can’t find it. Please help
