slow html messages

MS Outlook 2003. This just started happening. When entering text in an HTML
message, the text comes up very slowly. If I type too fast I see no text
until I pause for a few seconds, then the text pops up. Even opening HTML
email is very slow.
 
I'm having the same issue. It started a few weeks ago. I've read opinions that it's the result of a recent MS security update. My only work around is to go to the "Format" menu and change "HTML" to "Plain Text". I'd love to find a setting that allows me to reply to or forward HTML formatted email without converting them.

I'm having the same issue. I've read opinions that this is the result of a recent MS security patch. The only workaround I've found with replying to or forwarding HTML formatted emails is going to the "Format" menu and changing "HTML" to "Plain Text". I love to find a permanent solution to just deal with emails in their original format.

Any other ideas?

Joe,

Same issue as whom? Your Operating System Version? Your Outlook Version? Any
error messages?
Give us a hand. Maybe then we can help.

I am running Windows XP Pro on a desktop with core2 duo and 2gb ram.

I have found two workarounds, but no permanent solution;
1. In Outlook, open a new HTML message window. In that window, click on
File/Page Setup/Memo Style. Do not change anything, and click okay.
2. Here is a faster way. After first opening Outlook, under Mail, All Mail
Folders, click on "Mailbox - Last Name, First Name". Then click on "Inbox".

Both workarounds will enable normal typing in HTML Messages. I am still
looking for a permanent solution.

OPen Internet Explorer, click Tools>Internet Options>Security. Select the
Restricted zone, click Sites and start removing the sites you find.

Your info is helpful. I have started removing the restricted sites. There
are a lot of them. Is there a way to remove more than one at a time? I also
have some I cannot remove???

You could delete the registry key containing all the domains in all of your
zones, but I don't know how reliable that is.
 
Brian,
I have removed the files. Everything is working okay. Problem is solved.
Thanks. A couple of files cannot be removed. They have a wildcard (*)
within the name. Any hints how to remove them as well?

From IE. I'm not computer savvy enough to muck around in the registry.
Also, Firefox is my browser of choice. I don't use IE. How'd that stuff get
in there anyway? Sounds like a MS thing.

Is this a work computer or a home PC? Where I work, a GPO or script always
adds certain sites to the Restricted zone and they can't be deleted. I've
never had the problem with my home PCs.

The "stuff" can get in there is you have an antispyware application that
adds it. I don't know is that's true in your case, but it's true in many.
 
This is a custom built home system. It's powerful enough to do commercial
consulting should I choose to. (Graphic Design, Interactive multimedia). I
do use anti-spyware regularly. Maybe that's the cause. We have a local
system guru who is a college professor with a radio program and web site I've
signed up for. I'll check with them. They deal with all kinds of stuff,
including registry problems, but they don't encourage playing with registry
unless absolutely necessary. Thanks again for your help. You did solve the
problem I wrote about. I just discovered this other situation in the process.
