Various Issues

1. Outlook 2007 is very slow and many reported this problem here and
Microsoft Technet Forums without a solution. Maybe a miracle man will give a
solution. My Outlook profile file is only 480MB and I do not use the instant
search function (Windows Desktop search tool).

2. In start menu when viewing folders, clicking them takes a few seconds
(slow) to show the list and render icons. This is not normal because the
folders are not that big that they should take this long to load.

Specs:

Sony Vaio Core 2 Duo
2GB Memory
256MB Video
Vista Ultimate RTM

1) I've never seen Office faster than 2007 in Vista RTM.
2) It sure is not normal.

You have a nice machine. Do the common sense things to get it moving.

Speed PC and Control CPU Tips
SPEED AND CPU:
_______________
1) Trim processes you don't need in TM. Google if you have to.
2) Go to services.msc in run box and turn off services not needed and there
are some. Run System File Checker.
SFC: http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html
3) Run 3 or so spyware scans MSFT AS, Adaware (new build May 27 1.06) Spybot
4) Probably the most important for speed consistently and efficient resource
use DEFRAG with www.raxco.com or www.diskeeeper.com with 15% free space on
drive if DK and or >5% if Raxco's Perfect Disk.

Spybot from here.

4) Unck items from msconfig start tab you don't need starting and some
won't start--peoiple who think just uncking for many are naive because there
are 12 places things can be started including several reg keys like Run Once
keys and there are serveral.
5) Turn off Messaging service--it's a security vulnerability and it slows
you
6) Defrag very often every other day actually
7) Turn off indexing in the very erratic XP search
8) Clear TIF and %temp% files (delete) and go to safe mode to get as many as
u can.
9) Do a troubleshoot with msconfig 10) Do Clean boot with msconfig utility

I should have included some Vista service guides since there are some
different ones:

Thanks for the service guide, sure it will be useful in the future.

FYI, IE7 gives me Cannot Display the Webpage for this link:

In any case, thanks for the tweaks.

That's bizarre, that link shows up in my IE7 just fine.

No luck

But I'll try later and no problems for other two and other sites.

Thanks.

Xfiel--

Usually when I see something like that it means the writer forgot he was
using Firefox at the time because it works fine for me in Vista RTM IE7.
