slow response in windows mail

[Guest]

When I open Windows Mail, the response has suddenly gotten very slow. I'll
click on a message, and many seconds will pass before the message opens. But
if I leave the program open for a while, response speeds up. I have cleaned
out all my folders, and I only have about a dozen messages in my inbox, so
it's not overloaded. Program recently gave me the compacting message, so
that's done recently. Anyone know why the response has slowed down?

thanx

The registry fix worked. Thank you. This looks like a fix for a 64-bit
system. It's ok on my 32-bit Vista?

Are you using SpywareBlaster? Or installed any other software or REG file that adds rogue sites to the "Restricted Sites" list in IE, as a security measure? If so, see this page for a solution:

It's been successfully used by many 32-bit Vista users.
In spite of the site name, most of the fixes there apply to 32-bit systems.
