Outlook.exe and winlogon.exe processes

[Reactor]

So this started a week ago.

I launch Outlook 2003. Program launches fine, then when it tries to bring
up my reminders, the laptop gets very slow.

Task manager shows the outlook.exe process through the roof at 95% or
higher. When it calms down, winlogon.exe goes through the roof, again at
95% or higher.

I use a work-issued Averatec C3500 laptop running WinXP Tablet Edition. The
machine has a 1.6G processor and plenty of RAM.

Any ideas?

There was a recent patch released that caused a slowdown to Outlook - please
read KB927891 on the Microsoft site.
