SP1/SP2, Outlook 2002 (Office XP): slow loading!

[Andrew]

hi

i have never ever had problems with outlook 2002 (part of
office xp) loading up slowly before, until i installed
service pack 1 then service pack 2. it takes upwards of
10 seconds for it to load now.

i couldn't figure out how to uninstall the patches, so i
uninstalled office altogether, rebooted, and cleaned out
the old directories. i reinstalled it, didn't put on the
SPs, and still the same problems!!!

any ideas???

2 things to check.

1. Find and rename outcmd.dat to .old. This should speed Outlook opening.

2. Turn of Instant Messaging in Outlook - Tools->Options->Other.
