slow network browsing/scrolling after Outlook 2003 install

[rob.garrett]

Odd problem. Our company has near 100TB of data. Several directories
can have 100,000's of files. When clicking through our network with
an XPsp2 machine when don't really see any slowness until we get to
one the folders with thousands of files....the issues is with
scrolling down through those large directories. It pauses/hangs for a
second or so, and then will scroll down a bit, and then pause/hang
again. Eventually, it will cache the directory and will scroll fine
without problem. This is with the details view in Windows Explorer.
We run both XP and 2000, and the 2000 machines with the exact same
software run without the slow scrolling. I figured it could be
something in our standard install image, so I did a clean install of
XP and didn't have the slow scrolling issue. I then started
installing our standard software one app at a time. Worked fine until
Outlook 2003 got installed. I just installed it, no user got setup.
If I uninstalled it, the scrolling issue went away immediately. Why
would Outlook cause that?

Thanks

Same thing with Word? Perhaps ask in the Office group?

Buehler?

Try microsoft.public.outlook.general to see if anyone has experience the
same. Good luck.

Nope, the rest of office causes no problems at all. Just Outlook.

Is Outlook actively being used? Perhaps pose the question in the Outlook
group. They may have run into the issue.

Nope, it's just installed and not even configured. I did post over in
the Outlook group.

Thanks
