since install avast, outlook 6 super slow to start and sometimes locks up…any ideas on how to fix???
That’s usually problem when you uninstall your Windows Messenger. Did you do that maybe ? If you did, I have a cure for Outlook Express slow startup time… but, that’s only if you unistalled Windows Messenger… if not, you’ll have to wait for somebody from Alwil team to give a suggestion…
It would be great help for everyone if you tell us your configuration and OS that you use…
Cheers !
um, an addition check is for file pstores.exe. Make sure you have that file installed in window\system. There was some false alarms not too long ago concerning this file which when removed to sent to the virus chest caused slow down symptoms with some programs. Just something to check other than my awful grammar tonight.
Ever since the last Auto-Update of avast, IE6 quit working. Reinstall if IE6 will not correct the problem. Clicking the IE icon just give you the standard error and asks if you want to send a report to MS. The only way to get on the internet is to get into an explorer windo the typing a www address. Even this acts up and does not work properly. QuickBooks accounting also fails and says IE6 (required software) is not installed. This problem started immediatly following the Avast download.
there is a similar problem posted in this forum recently where the Alwil staff was involved. It was also an internet explorer setting problem.
