Have you looked at the integration of the Dell Media Centre with Office? Does Outlook open quicker if you open it in safe mode? Start > Run > outlook.exe /safe
If safe mode restores Outlook to opening as you would expect it to, check your Add Ins. ----- Original Message ----- From: Murray Freeman To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 9:54 AM Subject: RE: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING Running XP SP3 and yes, all our workstations are Dell!

From: Murray Freeman [mailto:mfree...@alanet.org] Sent: Monday, June 29, 2009 5:24 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING I've done some research before posting this issue, and can't find any good suggestions, so I'm going to the "Source". We have Exchange Server 2K3 running on a Windows Server 2K3 and use the Outlook 2K3 Client. Recently we are having significant slowness upon opening the client first thing in the morning after logging into the network. Later in the day, if opening the client after closing the client, the client loads very fast, within a few seconds. We'd surely like to determine the cause of the slowness or at least a fix. Since we have staggered start times here, it's not like everyone is opening the client at the very same time. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Murray
