Outlook Opens SLOWLY

[Candy]

My Outlook windows seem to open so much more SLOWLY than other windows.
Could there possibly be something slowing it down? If so, what can I check
and/or fix to take care of this? I have Outlook 2007 and Windows XP. Thanks
in advance to whomever may be able to help.

Perhaps so. What antivirus software are you running? Has it always
been slow or did this start recently? Do you have a LOT of data
(emails, contacts, calendar, etc.) in it?

What kind of machine do you have? How much RAM? Do you have a lot of
other things running at the same time?

Thanks for your reply, Gordon. I will check into these things. Can you
possibly tell me how many saved emails would be too many to keep (that might
also be slowing Outlook down)? I tend to save them. I might have too many.
Thanks.

Hi Candy

You mentioned the link
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/slow.htm

I have attempted to download the update from that link by downloading the Genuine update tool, however it does not work & the alternate method link they provide sends me back to the same Genuine tool page that does not work.
Do you know how to get over this hurdle?
Thanks
Chris
