Get real. Upgrade installations never work for Outlook and never have.
Hardly a secret. Read these groups. Follow the advice that has been posted
to you twice already. Stop posting things as bugs when they apply only to
you.

So Russ, what you're saying is that the Outlook upgrade - and I did
buy the "upgrade" version - is so buggy that it doesn't work for
anybody.

"A software bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a
computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended (e.g.,
producing an incorrect result)." (Wikipedia)

I'm sure I'm not the only one with the problems I'm encountering and
was hoping someone else could assist. Researching on Google to see if
I'm the ONLY one reveals that you're barking up the wrong tree:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,129886-c,outlookoutlookexpress/article.html

"an inability of Outlook to keep up with text as it is being typed and
slowness in sending and receiving e-mails"

Yep, both problems I'm having but NO ANSWERS. These aren't power users
features but basic tasks.

Your advice is invaluable. Basically I'm stuck with spending hours to
rebuild my Outlook settings the way I want them from scratch with the
hope of Outlook 2007 behaving properly -- as Outlook 2003 does very
well. If I would have know that bit of genius BEFORE I spent $450 on
the Office 2007 upgrade I never would have "upgraded."
