Outlook 2002 Slow Start-Up

[Guest]

I have a pentium iv processor; running Windows XP and
over a gig of RAM. Outlook 2002 takes 1 to 1.5 minutes
to start up. Any thoughts

Close Outlook. Find and rename outcmd.dat to .old. (If using Windows 2000
or XP, you will need to enable searching hidden and system folders.)

Once you have done so, reopen Outlook and it should open fine. You will
need to rebuild any custom toolbars or customizations as the file outcmd.dat
controls how the toolbars display. When it becomes corrupted, it will cause
Outlook to hang because it cannot create the toolbars that you expect.
