- grabs only 1/2 the RAM it uses when running, then finally (after about 3
minutes) grabs rest & launches
- XP SP2 with Office 2003 SP1

You to.. I just started to have this problem. Have you figured anything out
with it.

I fixed it long ago - cannot even remember how for sure - pretty sure a disk
defrag made some difference
OH - make sure you do not have too many pictures in My Pictures - create
subfolders instead - that was it I am quite sure

James (and Jim),

The solution is to edit the OIScatalog.cag (just an XML file) located in
C:\Documents and Settings\<yourprofile>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\OIS.

Locate tags that begin with "mru path". Delete any that point to bad or slow
locations.
