I have Outlook 2007 (Office 2007 Ultimate Suite) on a new Dell laptop with
Vista Home Premium. I have uninstalled stuff like Business Contact Manager
(whatever it was called) in an effort to keep Outlook as "pristine" as
possible.
The size of the pst file is: 203 Mb
There are only 570 items in the Inbox, but there are subfolders.
I have run scanpst against the pst. I have tried the Office repair utility.
Nonetheless, Outlook is slow. Calling up a dialog can take several
seconds. Closing it or moving between items can take seconds. Just moving
the cursor across various items in the toolbars can cause delays. Etc.
I have seen on MS recommendations. I have taken some. One of which
includes turning off constant indexing and putting it on a schedule. In
fact, I have found numerous references that MS recommends doing that. But
no where can I find how to do that. I understand it's not an Office thing,
but a Vista thing, right?
Of the add-ins I have chosen to disable: Google Desktop Outlook Toolbar,
Exchange Unified Messaging, SharePoint Server Colleague Import Add-In.
There are several other add-ins I would like to disable but it tells me,
"The connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
cannot be changed." These include: Groove Proxy, Outlook Mobile Service,
OneNote Notes about Outlook Items, Windows Search Email Indexer. Actually
I'm not certain I should try to disable that last. But maybe some of these
shouldn't be disabled anyhow. Can anyone tell me which of these can be
disabled and how?
Anyhow, any suggestions on how to improve Outlook's performance would be
greatly appreciated.
BTW, I've also noticed that so long as Outlook is open
the dual CPU monitors in Task Manager are like heartbeat monitors. Very
regularly going up to just over 50% and then down to below 10% - very
regularly. Is that normal?
