outlook html message creation very slow

[Leo-vs-The-Matrix]

Good morning,
Since some days now, creation of outlook messages in html format is killing me: keyboard typing is 'delayed' at the screen sometimes for more than 10 seconds. It used to work fine.
Environnement: XP SP2, IE7, NIS2007.
Browsing thru Microsoft forums gave me a possible 'clue', i.e. try to reset the IE7 settings (tools, internet options, advanced, reset) .... miracle of the technology: it worked, performance of outlook back to normal!
However, when running SPYBOT, the following occurred:

• search for updates resulting in 'no newer updates available'
• immunize resulting '15222 bad ... blocked; 3456 additional ... please immunize'
• running the '+immunize' button resulting in '18678 bad products are now blocked'

AND THEN, :sad: , SAME SYMPTOM: OUTLOOK SLOW.

Rerunning the reset of IE settings made the symptom desappear; rerunning SPYBOT procedure switched it back on again.
Very easy to reproduce, one just need to have an open HTML message being created.

Any clue from SPYBOT community?

Thanks for your help, have a good time.

Outlook 2003 HTML messages creation slow

Same problem, apparently goes with a May 2007 update from Big Brother.

They need to fix it.

I've found several temporary fixes (archiving messages, resetting the IE settings like you) and they all work for a while.

Thanks again MS for another wonderful mess you've gotten us into.
