Outlook 2003 Freezing

R

Richard III

Every time I use to open Outlook 2003, it would take a
while to open both of my hotmail accounts e-mail that I
had it check. It would sychronize for minutes before
finally getting all the e-mails downloaded. Now it has
gotten to the point where it just freezes whenever it is
opened. Also, it has never checked mail on its own when
directing to auto check mail every 5 minutes in the
options. What should I do?

I can't even open it anymore and use it. How do I save
all the info in it so I dont loose it?

Try going to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs. Find Microsoft Office
(or Outlook if that's all you have) and click "Change" to run a Detect
& Repair installation. You may well need your installation CD or media
to do it.

I already tried repairing it and it went through the
process of doing it but it did not make it run better at
all.....might have made it worse in fact.

What kind of computer are you running it on? What operating system and
what kind of Internet connection?
