Freezing when accessing the Contacts List

[Nik Johnson]

I'm running Outlook 2000 client on W2K pro with Exchange 2000 (W2K Advanced
Server).

When creating a new message outlook freezes when trying to access the
contacts list. I am able to access the GAL but then when scrolling down
to choose a contact from the contacts list it freezes and I have to restart
outlook.

Let's try this:

Right click on your Contacts folder and select Properties

Uncheck the option to show this folder as an e-mail address book on the
Address Book tab

Select OK

Select Tools | Services

Select the Outlook Address Book service

Select Remove

Restart Outlook

Now Add the Outlook Address Book service again from Tools | Services

Restart Outlook again

Right click your Contacts folder and select Properties

Check the option to show this folder as an e-mail address book on the
address book tab

Select OK

....any better?
