Outlook Express takes MINUTES to load & open!!!

[Casey Oldem]

On a 450Mhz Pentium with 256K of RAM, XP Home takes more
than a minute to load OE 6.00.2800.1123, even when the
only other thing running with it is IE6.0. This seems to
be the ONLY slow-loading program. Why is IT so slow
loading?

Your 450 MHz processor is a bottleneck. If your computer is old enough to
have that processor, it also has slow RAM, a slow video subsystem and a slow
hard drive.

Thanks, Tom, but as we said just above, OE is the ONLY

program so slow to load and open! Why just OE?

Open Outlook Express and from its Toolbar select:
Tools > Options. Under the "General tab", uncheck
"Automatically logon on to Windows Messenger",
then click on "Apply".
