since the last upgrade of msn messenger 6.1 (6.1.0207) recently, Outlook
Express 6 opens up really slowly and also when changing identities - it just
seems to hang for ages. I was wondering if the 2 things are connected as
some time i ago i had the same problem and then MS brought out a patch.

thanks for any help

Greetings Daisy,

I haven't seen this personally, but do you happen to be using Windows XP -- if so, have you
removed Windows Messenger?

Regardless, assuming you don't use the built-in Messenger functionality in Outlook Express,
you can simply disable the Messenger integration in Outlook Express to see if the problem
goes away. To do so, close Outlook Express, then download and run this .reg file:
