We're using Outlook 2000 so your mileage may vary. I've noticed here that the file \Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outcmd.dat, which starts out life at around 5k in size, can work itself up to 1MB and beyond, causing messages to open extremely slowly. It'll be recreated if you rename it and restart Outlook, and, as far as I've been able to tell, the only thing you'll lose is menubar customizations.

Anyone know where I should begin looking to determine whether I am experiencing the beginnings of a problem or whether this is just normal? Lately I've noticed that when I open email messages in Outlook XP they take longer to open. Especially the big messages (from listservs and such). May take like 2 minutes to open the email and task manager on my system (Windows NT) shows outlook.exe taking up 99% cpu time. These messages do not have attachments, I'm just talking about regular messages. I have an Exchange 5.5/SP4 box. I haven't noticed anything on the Exchange servers performance reports that show a sudden increase in CPU/memory/HD activity. This just sorta happened about 2 weeks ago. NO changes have been made on the server in quite some time. Any idea what this might be? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ This message is private or privileged.
