Outlook 2003 running slow on Vista

[turtle]

My outlook run very slow on Vista. Any ideas on how to correct?

Might depend on whether this was a clean install, of vista, or an upgrade
install.
Or if you installed OL2003 on a new vista sys, whether its a new data file
or whether you migrated your previous data file, and if so by what method.

I purchased a new Dell E1505 with vista preinstalled. I first migrated
outlook 2003, but it ran slow. I upgraded to 2G, it was still slow. I
upgraded to Outlook 2007, it still ran slow. I uninstalled Office 2003,
reinstalled a full version, it still runs slow. I use this laptop on a SBS
2003 server, it runs slow connected to the SBS network, or offline. My Vista
is Home Premium version.

I hope this info will help your analysis.

Thanks,

You can try a fix posted by a user who worked with Microsoft PSS on a machine that ran slow. The recommendation is to rename all .dat files (outcmd.dat, extend.dat, views.dat, etc.) to .old with Outlook closed and see if it improves performance. Especially if this is an upgrade reusing an older .pst file.

The Dell systems come pre loaded with an Outlook add in by Cyberlink.
Uninstall this feature and Outlook is fine again. If you go to
Programs and Features it is listed as "Uninstall Outlook Addin" and the
publisher is Cyberlink.

Have Fun!
