Outlook 2000 slow at opening new emails

[Dan]

Hello...

We have a WinXP Pro laptop on a NT network with Outlook 2000 on it, the
laptop has a standard network conection and syncs emails when off-line. It
also has a bluetooth connection, but the default connection is a standard
network port. When a new email comes in and the user tries to open the email
Outlook hangs. We did do a system restore which seemed to help but the
problem comes back again. No new software had been added so I'm not sure why
a system restore worked, initially. Could it be something to do with the
network connection and email sync...or what?

It's the company Chairmans laptop so i really need to get this one sorted.

Thanks!!

How does it sync while 'offline'? You could try limiting the network
connections to one as a quick test to see if it happens
