Recently I downloaded and installed Yahoo Messenger onto
my computer. As soon as I did I immediately noticed that
the performance of Outlook XP on my PC decreased
dramatically. I left Yahoo Messenger installed for 2 days
and the performance of Outlook XP remained very bad. As
soon as Yahoo Messenger was uninstalled the performance of
Outlook went back up.
The details of my PC are, Intel Pentium 4 processor, 512MB
RAM, 20GB hard disk drive and Windows 2000. The computer
was compleatly formatted and had everything freshly
installed only 1 month before Yahoo Messenger was
installed and the performance of all applications was more
than acceptable, before Yahoo Messenger was installed and
after it was removed.
 
Hmmm - I have a similar config and have had no problems.... check with Yahoo
support? Also, go to tools, options, other, and disable instant messaging
support in Outlook.
