Outlook slows down dramatically/ msmsgs.exe culprit???

[rob]

I am running Outlook 2002 on XP on a year old machine.
Normally Outlook is blazing fast on my email. However, I
seem to be getting an intermittant problem that occurs
when ever the machine is on for several hours running.
Outlook slows down dramatically; e.g., there is a 3-4
second delay to scroll through already read emails. I
can cure it when I reboot, but then I get it sometime in
the next 36 hours.

I checked in windows task master when I have the problem
and a program msmsgs.exe seems to eat up about 25% of the
resources (between file openings) when I have the problem
and far less when I don't. What is going on?

Thanks in Advance

Rob

Uncheck Instant Messenger integration under the Advanced tab on the
Tools->Options menu. Or you can set IM to run in the background.

Milly,

I really, really appreciate the tip, but I am such a
novice at this I don't understand which menu I am
supposed to pull up. On tools/options in my Outlook
there is no "advanced" tab. I have searched the tabs
that are there preferences/mail setup/.../other, but the
only "advanced tab" doesn't say anything about IM
integration?

Try tools | options | other....Milly might just have been typing too fast
;-)

Rob,
If you aren't sure about the Options menus, you can also download TweakOL
( http://mcdev.com/programs.php?page=TweakOL ), and it will allow you to
disable MSN Messenger with one click. It also has a few other Outlook
feature enhancements available.
This will allow you to manually start MSN, instead of having it open
everytime you start Outlook.
