Please help - Outlook XP Constantly Freezes (locks-up)

[Scott Hess]

Outlook XP constantly freezes up (gives me the not
responding text at the top of the window). It locks up
more frequently with larger files. I have downloaded all
the patches and updates fro Microsoft's webpage. Any
help will be greatly appreciated. Often the only way to
read e-mail is to start Outlook in safe mode. I have
tried the detect and repair function to no avail.

Please Help.

Thanks,

Scott

Locks up when? When downloading new e-mail? Since it works in safe mode I
expect your incoming virusscan may be the issue here.

Outlook locks up after all messages are downloaded and we
try to view the contents of a message with attachments.

Tools-> Options-> tab Other
