What is Outlook doing ? My Hard Disk works constantly.

[Will]

My Hard Disk seems to work constantly when Outlook 2003 is open.

This does not seem to be Internet activity as I can have Zone Alarm block
all internet activity and it keeps going.

On XP Pro I can Ctl-Alt-Del and see Outlook flashing on and off as a Process
when it does this disk access.

It is like dripping water and it is starting to get to me.

(I think this is a recent event and it comes and goes.)

Anybody know what it is and if I can control it without closing Outlook?

thanks for any help.

Hi,
have you installed any Addins?
Normally Outlook wont work like you wrote.
Have you also tried to cut your internet connection, and look what happen?

No addins I know of. What addins are possible (to job my memory) ??

I did cut he internet connection... Outlook keeps working the hard disk in
short spurts.

Any more ideas what this may be or how to stop it?

Thanks
