Outlook 2007 CPU running at 90%

[Tincup]

Outlook.exe process is using 90% of my CPU usage and cannot do anything with
it. I have to kill the process. The same thing happens trying to run Outlook
in safe mode. When I try to restart I get message stating the data file will
be checked this runs but that is it. I have tried running an Office 2007
repair still the same problem. The operating system is XP SP2.
How can I resolve this problem

I have had a similar problem with SVCHOST.exe. Search the web and found a
manual procedure to fix the problem. Still shows up every few months though.
The sites indicate it may be a virus but I have battoned down the hatches
with AV software scans and never found anything.

Its a real problem on my laptop because it kills battery life.

Maybe you should search for SVCHOST.EXE and see if you get any leads?
