Default Reminder alerts slow computer WAAAAY down

I have XP Professional and Office 2003. When I open Outlook and reminders
start to come up the computer slows to a crawl for about 2-3 minutes. This
is even before the pop up appears. I'll see the reminder(s) appear down in
the task bar, but usually not the pop up for a few minutes. If there's more
than one reminder, I'll see the first task bar reminder button, then I'll see
another task bar reminder button with a few more reminders, and I may even
see a 3rd task bar reminder if there's 4 or more reminders. When the
reminder pop up finally appears (2-3 minutes later) all the reminders are in
the same window and it works like it should. The machine usually is back to
normal speed by this point as well.

I just installed a new hard drive and reloaded XP and everything and the
problem is the same... Any ideas?
Thanks
