SYMPTOMS
When you try to add users to the permissions of a public folder in Outlook 2003, you may receive the following error message:

System resources are critically low. Close some windows.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if you try to add a group of users (for example, a distribution list) to the permissions of a public folder.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not add a group of users. Instead, add individual users to the permissions of a public folder. For example, add a user who has a globe next to their name. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Outlook 2003.
 * 2) Open the public folder that you want other users to have access to.
 * 3) Right-click the public folder, and then click Properties.
 * 4) On the Permissions tab, click Add.
 * 5) In the Add User dialog box, click to select a user, and then click Add.
 * 6) Repeat step 5 for each individual user who you want to give access to the public folder.
 * 7) Click OK to close the Add User dialog box.
 * 8) Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
