outlook CPU/memory issues

[DougMcL]

Hi, I have read through many of the posts and found similar problems, but not
quite the same. I have a new PC running vista & office small business 2007.
when I launch outlook, the system uses nearly all CPU and memory resources.
The big culprits are outlook.exe, sql server, and the search indexing
applications. I have disabled indexing all outlook information.

This a new PC (intel core 2 duo, 2 gigs ram, etc - high end) but I can't
type an e-mail, since it cannot keep up with my tying. It's been craning
this way for 8-10 hours, since opening outlook. I have all of my e-mail
stored on an exchange server, and I know that my inbox is about a gig.

Any advice of help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Doug

If I hold the Ctrl key, and start outlook in safe mode, then I don't appear
to have the problems. It's still a memory hog, but the CPU utilization is
OK.

The it's probably an add-in you have causing the problem.

Thanks for the reply!
I have not installed anything on this machine yet - just the MS stuff, and
some junk from dell, & I un-installed most of that. In safe mode, it does
not seem to have the Business Contact Manager. I wonder if that's what is
killing me. I don't know what it is or what it does (but that's beyond the
scope of this post). Anyone know if there is a way to disable it & verify
that it is my problem?
Thanks!

I uninstalled Business Contact Manager, but I still have the same problem...
Any help would really be appreciated.
