FrameworkService.exe @ 90%+ CPU; outlook 02 hangs

[Jesse]

Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I have no
idea when it started, but Outlook 2002 hangs at different
moments each time I use it (usually either when I first
click on Inbox to check for new messages, or when I try to
open a message). I've noticed that my CPU Usage is
continuously at 100%. I now also notice that
FrameworkService.exe is always the biggest CPU hog on the
Processes tab (in Task Mgr), and when Outlook 2002 is
open, it's almost constantly above 90 in the CPU column.

Anyone else out there as frustrated as I am?

That is the McAfee 7.x virusscanner if I'm not mistaken. Most likely your
virusscanner hangs when it wants to scan a message. Disable the Outlook
integration to start troubleshooting.
