More questions on Outlook 2003 "slow typing" problem

[Guest]

I've read the posts from other users that are experiencing the slow typing
effect in Outlook. I never use IE; I use Firefox. So does the security
update/IE issue affect me anyway? My slow typing problem has been in place
for about two weeks now. The text appearance in the email body is extremely
tardy, it only appears about 10 - 15 seconds after I type. Would really like
to resolve this.

If you don't have anything put in your Restricted Sites configuration in IE
than the update isn't the cause of your slow typing issue.

Thanks for the fast response. I'll keep searching for a resolution to this
problem.

If you don't have anything put in your Restricted Sites configuration in IE
than the update isn't the cause of your slow typing issue.

Do you use any antispam tool like Spybot? Just because you don't use IE
yourself doesn't mean an add-in might not still fill the Restricted network
zone anyway. Because you use Firefox, you wouldn't normally have an
inclination to check the zone contents. It wouldn't hurt to look with the
Internet Options applet in Control Panel.

I do indeed use Spybot, AdAware, and Panda antivirus and firewall. Can you
be a bit more specific -- do you mean I should check the settings in IE
and/or Firefox? thnx

Instructed twice now; check your Restricted Sites settings in IE;
Control Panel-> Internet Options-> tab Security-> select Restricted Sites->
button Sites

Robert, I don't understand how your post is relevant to my communications
with Tillman. Not sure what you mean by "instructed twice now, " as your
first post to me told me that IE was not my problem.

Anyway, on another forum (geekstogo.com), I found the solution: "...opening
in outlook 2003 tools\options in the security tab change security zone to
internet (from restricted sites)"

As soon as I did this, my problem was solved. Hope this helps someone else.

No, that is not what my first post said. Do you have any sites configured in
the Restricted Sites zone? That is the same question Brian asked.

Your workaround in putting Outlook in the Internet Zone is a really bad
solution and makes your configuration insecure. Leave Outlook in the
Restricted Sites zone and clear your sites listed in Restricted Sites
instead.

In Control Panel's Internet Options applet, just as I said. This is, of
course, what IE would use if you were using IE, but since you're not, I
suggested checking it through Control Panel so that you don't have to start
IE.
