Milo,

I have to tell you that I have the same exact problem and have found
no solution for weeks.  I am beginning to feel that the folks that
monitor this message board to help us have the same cut & paste
answers for everything. You specifically noted that your running
Windows XP and the solution he gave you is for Windows 98.

The next solution will be a cut & paste that will tell you to compact
your folders.  Or edit your registry if you disabled or removed
messenger.

Believe me, I have done it ALL even reinstall XP.  I have reinstalled
OE, created new identities, reinstalled messenger, remove OE
completely.  Started using Incredimail (it was just as slow to
startup).

It makes me think that the problem is something bigger than just OE..

If you find a solution, reply to this message and you'd be the man!

Good luck.

-Kelly

It takes up to 2 minutes to open.  Also, when right clicking on an
address to get the properties, there is a lag of 1 to 2 minutes for
the properties window to open and the computer is locked up until
then. I have read the fixits in Microsoft and nothing has worked.
The only fix that works is reinstalling XP, then it works fast.  All
other programs work fine.  I have reinstalled several times. Any
easier way to fix this? What is the cause?

From: http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/oeslow.htm

Several possible causes:

Make sure that your anti-virus is set to check program files, not all files.

Create new folders to organize your mail and move everything out of the Inbox. THEN compact it with File | Folder | Compact while in the Inbox.

For users on WinXP, when they remove windows messenger or just disable it from starting up automatically they experience a great slow down when launching Outlook express. Users who experience such a slow down will find a error in the system error log saying The server {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. The solution this problem is quite simple. Just Open up Regedit and search for the string {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} and modify the keys InProc32 (or InProcServer32) and LocalServer32 default key to a empty string. After a reboot, Outlook Express will start up as quickly as possible. See:

Another thing that has been reported to help is to click Tools | Internet Options in Internet Explorer. Go to the Advanced tab and scroll down. Make sure that Use SSL 2.0 and Use SSL 3.0 are checked.

Empty the Temporary Internet Files, including offline content.
