A client that I have been helping has been using Outlook Express and several months ago (no change to hardware) it started opening very slowly. Takes about two minutes to open. I then reinstalled OE and deleted all his mail messages from all foldersand deleted temp files, but it didn't help. Last week I downloaded and installe IE6 with OE6 and it still didn't help. Everything else works fine. Any ideas would be appreciated.

You may have the wrong version of Msvcrt40.dll and Msvcrt.dll.

Compare the versions of these files with the ones on the Outlook or IE CD and replace if needed, (Do a search on Msvcrt*.dll and for each file that is found in the Windows\System32 dir AND the CD do a comparison).

Happy hunting!

PS. MS Kb article "How to Extract Original Compressed Windows Files (Q129605)" will help you to get the files from the CD.

There could be alot of causes for this, a change to the hardware less likely, but a change to the software probably.

The following will call up almost all possible causes. You will need to determine which is the answer, or give more detailed info. Wishing you success!

PS. There are probable some spaces in the URL cause by copying - you will need to remove them, (I see one right now after: RECCNT )
