Outlook 2003 runs slow/hangs

[Tom Stuart]

Hi,

I'm having difficulty with Outlook. When I run Outlook it runs very slowly
until it appears to stop working. It typical completely stalls when I can
see at the bottom of the screen "Databinding..." though I think I've seen it
go past that before. I reinstalled Outlook, and run it in safe mode and I
still have the problem.

Despite running slow and stalling there is almost nil CPU usage happening.
I have a very large outlook.pst file. Last time I looked it was over 2GB.
I haven't had a problem before with this large file.

Anyone got a suggestion as how to fix, or to find the cause, of this
problem?

Thanks

Tom
