Outlook 2007 very slow

[rsnadel]

I am wondering if the reason Outlook is so much slower (to open and to
update) on my desktop (P4 2.8MHz) than my laptop (Centrino) is because I have
Instant Search active on the desktop machine. Is there a way to disable
Instant Search to see if it speeds up Outlook? Both machines are running with
1Gb RAM on Win XP Pro SP2.

Thanks.

See if this applies to your setup of Office 2007

Thanks, I'll give this a try. Would still like to disable/remove Instant
Search, though, to see if it's also the cause of slowness in MS Word loading.
Any idea how to do that?
