I originally started this thread in the Powerpoint group, but now it seems I've narrowed my problems down to Outlook. Here's the quick summary
Painfully slow performance when Archiving files in Outlook and when Opening files in Powerpoint keeps returning
I initially reported on Sunday this problem appeared after loading a contact manager application called Plaxo and remained after I uninstalled. Suggestion was to restore my system back to a known good checkpoint. This worked and performance problems were all fixed
This only lasted for one day, when I noticed the slow performance issues returned. I did not make any known changes to my system, other than working in various applications.
So now today I restored back to the same checkpoint, and performance returned as expected. However this time I imported some backed-up archive files in Outlook, and closed an unused personal folder in Outlook. Following these actions my slow problems returned in both Outlook and Powerpoint. So it appears I've narrowed the cause of my problems down to making folder changes in Outlook
Any suggestions on next actions to take in attempting to solve this problem? I'm leaning toward removing Outlook and moving back to Outlook Express. Although for compatibility issues with other applications I use, I'd prefer to keep Outlook
