Issues with Office 2007 and Windows 7

[matt_lincoln]

Hi I hope this is posted in the right place!

I recently installed and configured Outlook 2007 in a recently installed
copy of Windows 7 and after issues of importing the pst file (got that
resolved) the program is very unstable and takes along time to run any
operation. If you ask it to do to much then it crashes and corrupts the .pst
file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What 3rd party things do you have installed that integrate, use, protect,
index, .etc Outlook data? The reason that I ask is that I had to wait for
an updated antivirus solution that worked with Windows 7. Perhaps you have
something like this installed that is causing the performance issue since I
am having no issues with Office 2007 SP2 and Windows 7 x64 RTM.

We do have Avast! antivrus installed at the minute, but I'm fairly surethe
issues were there before hand as Outlook was the first thing I installed.

Anyhow, I'll remove the antivirus and see if that resolves the issue.

I have removed the Avast! installation and the issues are still there and
after double checking, the problem existed before the antivirus was put on.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Which other add-ins do you have installed?
Does it work correctly in Outlook Safe Mode?
Start-> type; outlook.exe /safe

Which previous issues did you have and how did you solve it? In the way that
you solved it, you might have created another problem.

Are you keeping the PST file on a local hard drive or removable media (e.g.
network or usb drive)?

Is it safe to assume that you have applied/patched Office/Outlook 2007 with
a minimum of service pack 2?

Perhaps not. Importing PSTs is prone to cause problems in the mail profile.
It is not the way to move data from one Outlook instance to another.
