Hey all,

I searched the KB for this and can't find anything relevant.

I'm running WinXP Pro SP1 and Office XP SP1. On the occasion, when I reply
to an email and send it, Outlook hangs. It takes up 100% CPU. I've always
thought it was due to the fact I have spell check prior to send enabled.
Today I found it is the spell check since I attempted to spell check a reply
email before I sent it and got it to hang.

This only happens to reply emails, I don't recall it happening to new email
creations.

I've had this problem on numerous OS's and with Office 2k using different
.pst files that never were on other computers.

Anyone ever hear of this and know a solution? Heck, am I the only one that
has had this?

TIA

Tom
