Outlook 2k FREEZE when sending email

[David L.]

I have been experiencing an anoying problem when sending
mail using Outlook 2000. I have SP3 installed and am
running Windows XP pro. Whenever I send an email, one of
two things happen: 1) the spell check completes and the
email gets sent. or 2) the spell check stops 1/2 way (or
completes) and outlook freezes with 100% cpu in the
outlook.exe process.

I have to end task and retype the email (unless I
remembered to save draft beforehand). I have tried to
disable spell check, but the problem still happens
(albeit less often, but still happens).

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any tips?

Thanks,
David
