Problem for Microsoft Outlook 2003 for PC

When open attachments in outlook 03 just locks up then opens




By rkaria on May 11, 2009

" "
When I receive attachments and open them in outlook 03 it takes several seconds to open. It locks up my PC and then suddenly it will just open, this is with small files like 25k.

Ive tried to notice any pattern but I only really receive excel documents so not really sure if its any otherdocuments.

Anyone help
Thanks

have you checked your windows firewall?
lower your security and the attachments should come through faster
the lock up is usually due to virus checks

Outlook has bad memory management, and this happens often. The only way to relieve this is to save the attachments to your computer harddrive first, and then open it, instead of opening it from the email directly.

Its a pain, but its the cost of using Microsoft products.
