Issue with Outlook 2007 Calendar

[Capt1190]

I am having an issue with Outlook 2007 and trying to schedule a meeting
request.

When you click on new meeting request and select a distribution list (which
is some what large), it takes a very long time for Outlook to become
responsive again. I understand that it is going over everyones calendar but
this takes an exceptionaly long time to update. Once inside the meeting
request, if you expand any distribution list, it becomes unresponsive again
for some time. About 2 to 3 min.
We are running Outllook 2007 updated with all the latest patches.
The exchange server is 2003.
We are still in testing phase of 2007 but all 4 users that are running 2007
are having the same problem.

Any help would be great.
Thanks

I would suggest that you:

Check to see if any of the following are turned on in your Outlook settings:

1.. Turn off "instant messaging" Q290025 (See quick instructions below)
2.. Uncheck all planner options per article Q324374 (See quick Info below)

1) OL2002: Delay Occurs When You Open a Message in Outlook 2002 with Instant
Messaging Enabled (good for 2003 also)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290025

Remove the link between Outlook 2002 and MSN Messenger, perform the
following steps:

1. Start Outlook.
2. From the Tools menu, select Options.
3. Select the Other tab.
4. Clear the "Enable Instant Messaging in Microsoft Outlook" check box in
the Instant Messaging section, then click OK.
5. Close and restart Outlook for the change to take effect.

If you have inadvertantly turned this on (Enable the Person Names Smart Tag)
then every message you touch, Outlook will look for an IM to hook it to.
After a while, it gives up and then loads your message. After all, there
is nothing to find if you are not using IM (LCS).
