Running very slow Outlook 2002

[Rick]

All of a sudden Outlook is running very slow when I am reading any of my mail. Why? It used to be very quick. As soon as I'd highlight a message, it would pop up, now it was at least 5-6 seconds until I can view it.

Try turning off the "Instant Messaging"

Open the TOOLS menu
Select OPTIONS...
Select the OTHER tab

Turn off the check mark next to "Enable Instant Messaging
on Microsoft Outlook"
