215630 2004-02-15 02:08:00 ive got a fairly new machine (p4 2.6,1gb ram etc) its very quick usualy except when i try to go into outlook it just dusnt seem to load for about 20 sec's then it starts loading. I think it started doing this after i installed an office update but im not too sure. I kinda wana no wat the problem is and how i can fix it as i didnt buy a new computer to be slow chev (4888)
215631 2004-02-15 03:22:00 Had the same problem, thought my computer was getting a bit on until a friend suggest use the 'repair' option. Fixed it like new. sam m (517)
215632 2004-02-15 03:59:00 If you are using WinXP you can try the prefetch trick to launch programs faster.

Right click on the shortcut > Properties, and under Target add after the last " mark, one blank space and then /prefetch:1.

An example of this for my Firefox browser (I don't have Outlook to use as an example) would be:

Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /prefetch:1

See if this makes a difference if you are using WinXP.
