Hanging outlook express on XP

[Nick]

I have windows XP and whenever I change identities in
outlook express, it hangs for about 5 to 7 minutes then
works as usual. I found an article to fix this problem
with all versions of windows before XP and it includes
editing the registry under Identities. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=274017 I went
thorough and deleted all the registry items that had the
DWORD type and it still ocurred. I've imported them back
in now. Any ideas?

this newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003(beta) from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
