Outlook2000 takes a lot of time to open

Locked

by ck.wan · about 20 years, 5 months ago

Recently I found my outlook2k took about 15~20 mins to open my pst files sometimes(not everytime), in this period of time, my HD kept running. Does anyone meet this problem before or I infected virus? ps, my pst file is about 400MB.

  When is the last time you “compacted” your pst file?
  
  Right-click on Outlook, Properties, Personal Folders, Properties, Compact Now.
  
  If the problem persists, then run a complete scandisk with fix and make sure that your hdd is not going bad (essentially it does not find bad sectors).
