Outlook 2007 Pauses/Hangs Computer on Send/Receive with Attachment

[WordAmess!]

I have reformated my fujitsu laptop S6240 three times already but Outlook
2007 still pauses/hangs my laptop when I have incoming email with
attachment/s.

I have Office 2007 SBE installed in Windows XP along with yahoo messenger,
msn messenger, skype, norton antivirus which are all running together with
Outlook.

Any similar experience out there? Is there any solution to this problem?

Thanks for any help.

Uninstall Norton Antivirus and reinstall it without the mail scanning
feature. Skype is known to interfere as well.
