Outlook 2003 - Receiving reported error Ox8004010F

[Freddie-D]

System:
XP Pro sp2
Outlook 2003
Outlook Connector
Hotmail Plus

Question:

Each time Outlook is opened, I get the following error message:

"Receiving reported error (Ox8004010F). The operation failed. An object
could not be found".

Which "object" couldn't be found? Outlook is aso extremely slow, and I
also seem to have an svchost.exe issue when booting up, which may, or may not
be related to above. Checking Task manager, svchost.exe seems to be using a
great deal of memory.

I have ensured I open Hotmail before starting Outlook, but it doesn't seem
to help. Have I a corrupted file somewhere?

Has anyone met this before, or have any information that could help me and
ease my frustrations?

Are you synchronizing your folders, etc. and using an ost file?

Hi
Thank you for your response.
Not being a "techi", I'm afraid I don't understand your question! I use IE7
browser, and access my Hotmail Plus account through outlook 2003 using
Outlook Connector. I'm not sure what "an ost file" is.

Have you verified you're using the latest version of the Outlook Connector?

The version number is: 12.0.4518.1063, and was only downloaded from
Microsoft site last week.
