Has anyone else seen this? Every once in a while, Outlook 2003 starts hanging on every email that has attachments or embedded images, about for a minute or so. It is utterly annoying and I did not find any resolution for this on the Internet—I guess it is either the anti-virus software, or Outlook tries to do something with the network that eventually fails, but uh, come on, should not it just work?

Do you have a desktop search program installed that can index Outlook data?

Hi Steve,
Yes, I have Lookout 1.3.0.24057 installed. Recently I also installed X1 experimentally, but Outlook was already hanging before that. I have been using Lookout since years and did not have this problem until recently, though. Also, when Outlook hangs, there is no high processor usage, it runs at the usual 0%.
Do you think they are related?
