slow response in MS outlook now that I've upgraded to win XP SP2 .

[fgg197]

Since upgrading a DELL PC to Win XP SP2 and additional patches (OS, software,
hardware, office, etc.) from microsoft website; MS Outlook (9.0.0.) is slow
in receiving emails back from MS Exchange Server 5.5 (with A/D).

It was working fine prior to upgrade.

Please provide any information to correct this situation.

Thank you and regards,

The problem you're having is that the information (called "UDP packets")
that Exchange is sending to notify Outlook of changes to your mailbox is
being blocked by something - probably the Windows Internet Connection
Firewall. You can set the registry values in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q305572 (Outlook
2002) or http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q304849
(Outlook 2000) to cause Outlook to poll Exchange rather than waiting for
notifications.
