Performance problems with Outlook

[Mike]

I'm running Office 2007, Outlook 2007, and Vista Home Premium. My email is
IMAP. Outlook has mutliple problems including A) Very slow to load my
calendar whenever I click on it. B) Reminders that I dismiss continue to
re-appear. C) Inbox shows an unread message when there is none. D) When I
send email from the Outbox, it always indicates that it is sending 2 more
messages than there are in the Outbox. So if I'm sending one message, it
shows sending 3.

I have attempted to load the Outlook Performance update, but I get an error
message stating that "the expected version of the product was not found on
the system." I have run the office diagnostic, which finds no problems, and
repaired Office and re-booted. Sure would like some help.

Try running Outlook once with the /cleanreminders switch for B.
For C try "mark all as read" and see if it behaves.
A might be your system specs.

Thanks, Bill. I think your advice resolved B & C. Now, A is the real
problem. I'm using a brand new Dell machine, which is very well decked out
with memory, processing speed, etc. Maybe you can elaborate on the system
specs comment for me? Thanks.
