Thanks Ben,
Yes I have disabled Panda and there is an improvement in the switch time -
it gets down to about 3 seconds which whilst a great improvement is still not
instant like Outlook on my home PC. Incidentally the other day, following
an intuitive thought, I removed the programme IE Privacy Keeper supplied by
UNH Solutions and for a short while Outlook was back to normal and it was
brilliant - I even got the bottom toolbar which displays how many messages
there is in the Inbox just like on my home PC- later in the day however, for
some reason, which I can't remember I had to access Outlook from the start
menu and it reverted back to the same problem and that is the situation to
date . Your thoughts would be appreciated.
many thanks
john
