This is a tough one!

by alacrity . Updated 25 years, 11 months ago

Configuration: PII 350, 128 MB PC 100 ram, wd 13 gb drive, win 98se OEM load, MS Office 2000 pro ‘typical install’, ATI all in wonder pro 8MB PCI as primary display, Intel 870 AGP secondary display adapter. AOC 19″ primary monitor, CTX 15 is secondary. Winzip and ACDsee v3 loaded as well. Here’s the long list of problems:
With fresh re-boot and no other programs open it takes 1.5 seconds to display the “my computer” or the “network neighborhood” windows. With outlook open and on the 1st or2nd display it takes 15 seconds to display the above mentioned windows. ACDsee file viewer takes 30 seconds to open a JPEG file when outlookis open bu 2 seconds when outlook is closed. Also related to ACDsee. When the file/folder list is open anda directory on the C drive is highlighted – clicking on the – that closes the folder list causes a “acdsee performed an illegal function and will be shut down” error. If outlook is closed that error isn’t caused.
Free resources when Outlook is open is 77%
