Outlook hangs opening attachments and URLs

Suddenly Outlook is hanging up when left-clicking on attachments and
URLs. The programs show up in Windles Task Manager as "Not Responding"
but then around 90 seconds later the attachment or URL opens up and
everything returns to normal.

So, there's no error report produced, and I can't seem to locate where
the hang-up is. Seems to be some system resource that's being
requested and taking a long time to receive it. This is not a new
problem according to what's out there on newsgroups, but i can't find a
solution listed on any of the reports, so i'm re-posting here to see if
anyone has an idea what could be causing this, or how to somehow
resolve the issue.

I've cleaned the Registry, and cleared out caches. No luck. Wondering
if some other program might be causing the problem by requesting a
resource and not releasing it properly, but I don't know how to
reserach that kind of conflict.

Thanks!!
