Why is my Outlook 2002 so slow

[DiNet]

Recently, I have noticed that my Outlook is running very, very much slower
than it did for years before, & hangs for up to 30 seconds. What might have
changed to cause this?

We don't know - what did you change?

There are many reasons why applications may slow down after time. But
it's not the application itself that gets slow; it is the environment.
- Your HD may be filling up; use a cleanup tool (http://www.ccleaner.com/)
- Your HD maybe strongly fragmented; defragment it
- Your memory may be too small (due to new programs)
- Your page file may be too small
- Your computer may be infected with malware
- Your Internet connection may be slow (at times)
