Tech Support Pits:

From Don===

Dear Webby,
I see that, in this issue, you help a subscriber with a 
computer problem. I would be eternally grateful if you 
could find a solution to my problem.
Here goes:
Recently one of my family updated my computer to XP.
Now, when I am using the Inbox for Microsoft Outlook there
is a long (4-5 seconds) pause in between the time I highlight 
an entry and the time it is activated and appears on the 
screen. Do you have any suggestions on how to speed 
things up?
Thanks, Don

Dear Don
First, check the date/time on your machine. You are
living in the past. That causes mail from you to get sorted
in among yesterday's already taken care of mail, 
and is found only by accident.

I don't allow Outlook within 20 feet of any computer here,
so I don't know that much about Outlook problems.
However, I would suggest that you clean out your INbox 
and either transfer mails to different other mailboxes, 
or dump them.
The leaner you keep the INbox, the faster ANY mail 
program runs.

Have FUN!
