Hi,

I'm using Outlook 2007 on my super, duper T60 with CoreDuo and 2 GB RAM. How
ever using Outlook 2007 drives my crazy. Anytime I change the selection it
takes some moments to respond. In addition starting Outlook 2007 is very
very slow. I not using add-ins at all.

What to do?

Thanks
Paul

A user reported that working with Microsoft PSS resulted in PSS recommending a rename of the .dat files in the Outlook directory to .old (extend.dat, outcmd.dat, views.dat, etc.) The poster indicated that this sped up Outlook considerably.

Did you enable searching hidden files/folders?

| Hi Milly,
|
| What do you mean by the 'outlook folder'? I have found several, and

Hello Paul,
Before digging into this to deeply could you please provide some more
specific information about your machine and your configuration. Specifically
I would be interested in the following:

1. Operating System
2. Is this an upgrade or clean install
3. Configuration of Outlook (i.e. POP3 account, Exchange Ti etc)
4. Applications running at the same time (i.e. Desktop Search, Word etc)

Any other specific repro steps that you have that can help diagnose this
problem (i.e. when I do x I notice ...)

Thanks

Hi Benjamin,

1. Operating System
Windows XP SP2

2. Is this an upgrade or clean install
Upgrade, but I had deleted the profile including ost, since someone
recommended this

3. Configuration of Outlook (i.e. POP3 account, Exchange Ti etc)
Outlook Cached Mode against Exchange 2003

4. Applications running at the same time (i.e. Desktop Search, Word etc)
On my machine is Office 2007 Ultimate + Word 2003 (Upgrade with only Word
2003 left)
Microsoft Desktop search is idle, no other search product. Lookout
uninstalled (and sadly missing)

Any help very much appreciated. It's really killing my productivity

Thanks again
Paul

Hi,

one addition: Some legacy clients (Outlook 2003 SP2) from other computers
are accessing the same mailbox as well.

Thanks again
Paul

Please add me to this list as well



I have upgraded to Outlook 2007 from 2003



Windows XP SP2

Connected to a Exchange 2003 with SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1 with all
updates including DST



All of the installs that I have done have been upgrades and it seems that
everything is slower now.



Our systems have 2.0 to 3.0 processor with minimum of 512 to max of 1gig of
ram



To me it seems like the processor is running at 100% at times but when I
look at task manager it's running Ok.



My issues appear in my mouse. When I click on something I have to click on
it twice or even three times to get something to open. I have updated my
Mouse, keyboard and video drivers already with no luck.



I have not deleted my OST or profile as of yet.



Any info would be a great help as I am slowly putting Office 2007 out within
our company.

Add me to this list, it's a disaster. I now can't roll back either as I'm
getting error messages when trying to run 2003 (nothing fixes it)

I have tried renaming all the files to old as suggested, totally removing
bot 2003 and 2007 and re-installing, reducint the size of my pst file to
1gb. I have now spent conservatively 20 hours trying to rectify this.

The main problem happens when downloading email. Being in safe mode does not
fix that. Surely it can't just be the dozen people on this forum that have a
fault, it must be more widespread, yet no-one seems to have a fix??
