Outlook slow to open

[Trevor Appleton]

Outlook(2002 sp2) takes over a minute to open compared to a few seconds for
IE6. I think it happened after some systems tweaks some months ago. Any
thoughts on how to speed it up much appreciated.

See if disabling the Messenger integration helps for you;
Tools-> Options-> tab Other

Also note that Office XP SP3 is out already (+additional hotfixes)

Have tried downloading SP3 for Office but it asks for the CD which I don't
have. I bought the PC second hand from my neighbour, and I think she had so
many computers she had no idea what went with what.

I did refer to Outlook but must have gone to OE by mistake, since I was
using OE for newsgroups.

Your solution works brilliantly. Many thanks for your time and help
