Outlook Express 6 Slow to Load Thursday, April 24, 2003 at 1:01 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Sarah (6 messages posted) I just did a complete overhaul on my computer (Windows 98 platform), to speed everything up and clear off the junk. I was happy to be able to use OE again (after having to convert to regular Outlook a few years ago when OE got extremely slow). It was cranking along fine this morning, when all that was on my computer aafter the overhaul was the internet. Then as I got everything reinstalled, it slowed up again. Those IT experts out there: are there any programs with which OE is incompatible? I'm running OE 6. When I clicked the icon to open the program, it took 40 seconds for the introductory screen to pop up. It took 1 minute 50 seconds for the program itself to open. And it took 2 minutes 10 seconds for the Inbox to be visible. Then on top of that, when I click Reply, it took 55 seconds for the screen to open that allows me to write. Here's what I've got on my computer (which is only about 1/8 full): Preinstalled Games/Accessories, CD writer, etc Adobe Photoshop Adobe PageMaker Adobe Acrobat Zone Alarm (Lavasoft) Microsoft Front Page Microsoft Office 2000 Professional Edition (package) Microsoft Works I *uninstalled* McAfee, because I was told it can be incompatible, and I don't like their customer service Norton System Works Symantec Live Update (part of Norton) Webshots Windows Media Player WinZip Ad Aware (Zone Labs) I had AIM and MSN Messenger installed, but that's when I noticed OE6 being stupid, so I uninstalled them, too. No luck. Still slow. Any ideas? Thank you.
