Outlook 07 - wind opens - no access

[Toe Cutter]

Greetings,

My Outlook 2007 opens slowly and is slow to redraw
the related screen cells etc... Eventually, I can see Outlook,
but I can't access it. Even the mouse disappears over the window.
An attempt to right-click on the WIn XP task bar also fails
to force the application to quit. I have to quit via ctrl alt del.

Any ideas?
It was working fine until I installed recent WIN updates.
(I'll start to uninstall the updates in case you have other ideas.)

Regards,
Toe Cutter

Hi again,

It seems that an update has reset my Firewall, greyed out the off/on toggle,
and says that Group Policy controls access to it.

THANKS MICROSOFT- I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How the f'n frig do I fix this?
