Outlook Express is SLOOOOOW!

[June]

On my new computer - a Pentium 4,2.8Gh, 512Mb RAM,
Windows XP - it takes forever to open or compose a
message in Outlook Express. One I get the first message
opened (about 60 seconds) then the rest of them will open
okay. It happens every time I start OE. Same with
composing a message. It takes about 60 seconds to open
the form to start typing! Again, after the first one it's
quicker. I have a broadband connex to the 'net and have
no other problems accessing my ISP.

I never had a problem with this on my old computer
running ME which didn't have near the speed or capacity
of this one.

Anyone else had this problem? Any idea what I can do to
correct this?
