Why is Office 2007/Outlook suddenly sluggish and non responsive? Rob Currens 5/22/2007 3:42:01 PM I have a new (3-07) Compaq running Vista and have upgraded to Office 2007. After a while I noticed that Searching Contacts failed to work properly, then I'd get a "whited out" screen with a message in the upper left border saying Outlook nit responding. I then installed Business Contact Manager and the entire program has slowed down my computer entirely and has acted very unstable. Is something I can do to correct this, like a re-install or Disc De-frag? I'm primarily a MAC user and am used to things just working. I'd appreciate any help! Thanks, Rob Currens

My wife complained that Outlook was unbearably slow, and with her login Outlook was taking twice as long to do anything. I checked the running process and found a Media Player service using up 50% of CPU. I check its options and Media Player was configured to pull a bunch of information from the network. I turned all those things off and the service stopped noticably using CPU. The other thing I noticed is that for the first three days after upgrading, the Windows Search Protocol Handler (or something with a similar name) was busy indexing the everything in Outlook and BCM.
