Several weeks ago, I did a clean install of Office 2003
Pro over a clean install of Windows XP Home on a machine
with an AMD 2400+ and 512 megs of RAM. While tracking down
strange behavior, I noticed that Outlook sometimes jumps
to near 100% CPU usage and stays there. It happens when I
send a message, when I delete a message and periodically
at other times for no apparent reason - perhaps tied to
inactivity. Clicking on 'receive messages' does not
trigger the problem. It is similar to the redline problem
earlier this year with some machines after installing
Office 2000 SR-3.
I have scanned, checked, unchecked, poked and prodded
everything I can think of. There are no add-ins or
external programs impacting Outlook, other than Norton
Anti-Virus scanning incoming and outgoing messages. I
haven't been able to find anything on the Web to help, so
I turn to you.
