Just reinstalled Outlook (Office XP) and now it is very
slow when navigating from message to message. Sometimes
up to 5 seconds just to preview the next message. Any
one else have this problem? I also notice that my router
shows activity each time I click another message (like it
is looking at the network for the message).
 
I'm tempted to ask why you reinstalled Outlook - was it because it was
already having a different problem or was it in an effort to correct this
one.

Try emptying the deleted items folder and archiving old messages to reduce
the size of the .pst file. That may speed things up for you.

Also, you might want to check how often you've told the program to check for
messages or for any other programs that're open in Task Manager to see if
something's running that you maybe don't suspect.

Finally, even if you have anti-viral software running, I'd take a trip to
www.symantec.com and use its free online viral testing program. And make
sure you have the most recent patches, hot-fixes, and service packs for both
Office and your OS.
