Final Try

[lucretia borgia]

I use MS Outlook from Office 2003 and am XP.

Since a recent reformat, opening an email take nearly 60 seconds. When
it finally is open, there is a band header which says 'You are now
viewing this message in the Internet Zone' - which makes me wonder if
somehow IE is jumping in to open it, hence the long delay.

I have been through everything in Word, Outlook and IE trying to solve
this. I went to ms.com and did all the updates and downloads, but it
remains the same.

Fairly frequently I get a Programme Not Responding message and also
the damn This Programme has to close.

If I thought it would help, I would do a complete uninstall and
re-install of Office but it's not the option of choice I prefer. I
have been posting for three days hoping someone would have at least
some suggestions.

Needless to say, I would appreciate any suggestions.

"Internet Zone"; this sounds like a firewall expression to me. Do you
have a software firewall installed that could issue this message?

The problem was solved yesterday afternoon by a friend, you're nearly
spot on. Prior to the reformat I used Spybot along with Adaware.
After reformat, Adaware and 4 Square.

Under Control Panel, Security, and clicking on the red 0 symbol, up
came a list of all sorts of sites deposited there by Spybot that were
deemed too risky.

In essence my emails were being checked against these addresses each
time I went to open one.

Took forever to eliminate them, had to be done one by one ( it
actually took two hours and I'm pretty good at clicking) Four would
not be removed at all. After a reboot, voila, email opens instantly.
Thanks for your answer though, I was reaching desperation point and
figuring maybe the only answer was to switch to the dreaded Outhouse
Express for email

It's the Internet network zone that IE keeps track of on Tools>Internet
Options>Security
