News not responding

[Roberto de Corneille]

When I open News from within Outlook I have started getting the "not
responding" msg, nothing works [ctrl alt del etc]machine is locked up,
this has just started hapening since I finaly activated two days ago.
After several second I regain control of the machine and News will
open, closing News and/reopening works as one would expect, nothing else is
amiss - just opening News first time.

Running Vista Business on Domain with SBS2003 SP2, Gigabyte MoBo and AMD
Dual Core 4200 with 1GB RAM, any help appreciated.

when you run WM from Outlook (news reader mode) it spins its wheel for a bit opening all the files/folders it needs to use.
it might help if you clean up the data base a bit and compact it.
also might use the utility
WMUtil
and use it to remove ZERO length files and clean up the data base by compacting

thanks for the info, WMutil fixed the problem, no more burnouts/rubber smoke ;-).
