outlook express 6

[mark]

Lately I've been having trouble with outlook express 6
opening very slow. It's not my computer because everything
else runs fine. might there be a solution? I've already
tried reinstulling. Thaks.

Have you compacted the folders recently? - File|Folder|Compact all folders
how big are they? - the bigger the folders.dbx file, the slower OE will open

Several possible causes:

Go to My Computer | Dial Up Networking and right click your connectoid.
Choose Properties | Server types and make sure that Log onto network is NOT
checked. NetBEUI and IPX/SPX should also not be checked.

Make sure that your anti-virus is set to check program files, not all files.

Create new folders to organize your mail and move everything out of the
Inbox. Then compact it with File | Folder | Compact while in the Inbox.

For users on WinXP, when they remove windows messenger or just disable it
from starting up automatically they experience a great slow down when
launching Outlook express. Users who experience such a slow down will find a
error in the system error log saying The server
{FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} did not register with DCOM within the
required timeout. The solution this problem is quite simple. Just Open up
Regedit and search for the string {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} and
modify the keys InProc32 (or InProcServer32) and LocalServer32 default key
to a empty string. After a reboot, Outlook Express will start up as quickly
as possible. See:

If none of those fix the problem, rename pstores.exe, psbase.dll,
pstorec.dll and pstorerc.dll, then extract new copies from the CAB files.

instructions for repairing the Protected Storage Service under Win2K and
WinXP:

Another thing that has been reported to help is to click Tools | Internet
Options in Internet Explorer. Go to the Advanced tab and scroll down. Make
sure that Use SSL 2.0 and Use SSL 3.0 are checked.
