Hi,
I recently got rid of a nasty trojan that was using a keystroke logger
and killing my desktop.
Prior to getting rid of the Trojan, Outlook was sluggish and I assumed
the Trojan was the cause. Apparently not. After eliminating the Trojan,
Outlook wouldn't sync with my exchange server. I uninstalled MS office,
rebooted, did a complete defrag of the HD (which it really needed) and
reinstalled Office.
Outlook will synch with the server now but is still running slow. This
started a few weeks ago, the program ran fine prior to that.
I have a hosted exchange account at 1and1.com. I can have Outlook
running on my desktop and laptop at the same time and they stay in
sync. I'm using the default editor in Outlook and have tried switching
cached exchange mode from Headers only to Full messages and back again.
It makes no difference.
Outlook 2003 runs fine on my Dell Latitude which is a PIII 500 running
XP Pro. According to the taskbar, Outlook's using 51,308k of memory. On
my desktop, which is a P4 with a gig of ram, it constantly stalls while
I'm typing and frequently takes 90-98% of my CPU and is currently using
97,144 of memory. Yet they're accessing the same data.
I use Panda Titanium AV and have tried disabling it to see if that had
an effect, it didn't.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Bill
