I am having an issue where outlook 2003 takes up 99 or 100% cpu. It happens somewhat randomly, but I have noticed that it particularly happens when I first start outlook, or when I compose a new email to someone (hitting the “new” button). outlook will jump to an abnormally high CPU usage, sit there for a few seconds, then go back down to normal. when i begin to type in the new message, it does the same thing. If I run “detect and repair” Outlook will work for the rest of the time I am logged in. If I log off and back on, it goes back to “normal” (i.e. sporatic high cpu usage). i have Anti-virus running, as well as scanned for any spyware/adware running. It’s not a corrupted message (moved all mail to a .pst file), and I’ve run the inbox repair tool, as well as “scanost.exe” tool. None of them worked. any ideas?
Thank you!
