RE: "Not Responding"



Does anyone know? Update: I do believe I have narrowed it down to Outlook
2003. When Oulook is not open, all seems to be working fine. However, when I
open it up again and try to save into or open up a folder through Outlook,
Word and Adobe, it hangs and says "Not Responding" for about 30-60 seconds
and it does it randomly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably a stupid issue that has been bugging me for the last two
weeks.

When I save files from either Outlook, Adobe, Word, etc. it's starting to
randomly to become non-responsive. Example:

Normally, I would save a file attachement from an email I received by just
click Save As and choose a folder I desire to save it in with no hesitation
whatsoever. Now when I click on a folder in the Save As window, it acts as
though it's not responding. Sure enough, at the top of that window it says
(Not Responding). However, after about 30 to 60 seconds, it would then open
up to that folder. Thereafter, I could open another folder without a hitch
but if I wanted to go further into the directory tree, it would do it
again...Not Responding.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? If so, what's the solution?

Note: I've updated my XP with Windows Update about that time it started
acting up. One of the update is Windows Media 11. Here's the list of my
updates in the last two weeks:

Also note that I did not make any changes to my Windows XP settings other
than these two things:

In msconfig, I disabled one program called Altiris which I have no earthly
idea what's it for other than a local recovery program. And in Outlock, I've
added "Junk E-mail" to my Favorites Folder.

I'm baffled.
