I have it installed on my home PC with the latest Windows/Office updates. I
installed it under the local Administrator account, but I set up a normal
restricted user account for myself to use on a daily basis. Only add-in is
the Outlook Connector. This is a brand new XP installation, and there's
little else on it. I had fatal NTFS corruption on the old, and I got my PST
file from backups. I imported it, and it did all the accounts on its own,
then I added the Outlook connector for a couple of Hotmail accounts.
It's not always painfully slow, sometimes it's perfectly normal. But when
it is slow, there's a cure that works every single time -- use fast-user
switching and log in as Administrator. As long as the Administrator account
is logged in, it will continue to run quickly. The Administrator account is
not configured for Outlook, only used for the Office installation. I did
walk thru the wizard to set it up under Administrator without any email
accounts, hoping that would help, but it hasn't.
It's not the size of the .pst file, either. I delete most email, so there's
little in it & the size is <23 MB. The .ost files for the Hotmail are much
smaller.
Any ideas on what's wrong?
