I have a problem with Outlook 2000 where it hangs on the Outlook Today portion. I am able to open directly into the Inbox, Outbox, etc and everything is fine. It is only when I click on the Outlook Today bar that it hangs and the resources shoot up to 100%. I have re-installed the program, renamed/deleted the outlwvw.dll, used /switches to open it, and nothing seems to work.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Outlook Today requires Internet Explorer to be the default browser.

Is another browser set as the default?

You can tell is you us Windows Explorer and double click on an html document. If another browser opens the file, then IE is not the default.

Vinney,

IE 6 SP1 is set as the default browser. I tried running it on another pc and it still hangs. It seems to be a profile issue.

Any other ideas ?

Problem seems to reside with a corrupt calendar and recurring meetings. I was able to export the whole mailbox into a pst file and re-import each object individually. Once I hit the calendar, CPU went up to 100% and the system hung again. I will go through each meeting separate and try to run a pull through there. Will update with more info once problem has been solved.
