Outlook 2000 slow to open
Hi
It takes about 40 seconds for Outlook 2000 to open on Windows XP pro SP2. No Sypware or viruse has been detected. Other than that the machine is running fine. Any idea please ? Thanks Best |

Close Outlook. Find and rename outcmd.dat to .old. (If using Windows 2000
or XP, you will need to enable searching hidden and system folders.) Once you have done so, reopen Outlook and it should open fine. You will need to rebuild any custom toolbars or customizations as the file outcmd.dat controls how the toolbars display. When it becomes corrupted, it will cause Outlook to hang because it cannot create the toolbars that you expect. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Hi Best,
If the problem still persists, please also perform the following troubleshooting steps: Step 1: Start Outlook in Safe Mode ================================================== = Run "Outlook.exe /Safe" to start Outlook in safe mode.

Click Tools, then Options 3. In the Other Tab, click Advanced Options 4. Click Add-in Manager, CLEAR all the check boxes in Add-in Manager. 5. Click COM-addin, CLEAR all check boxes. 6. Reload Outlook in normal mode to see whether the same problem still persists If this problem persists, please go to next step.
