  Question
  After importing my pst files from my previous computer, my Outlook 2007 has
been very slow. It starts slow and responds slow. I have to wait for maybe
2 secs. before I get a response.

  This has been a problem since the beta release and Microsoft has not
fixed it yet. Hopefully they will attend to it in a service pack but
for now the only solution is to go back to using Outlook 2003.

  Is there really nothing I can do because I don't have my old laptop anymore
and the only thing I have in this new one is Office 2007?

  Does anyone know if Microsoft is trying to fix this problem? My copy of
Outlook 2003 expired on my new laptop so I do not have access to it. I
purchased Office 2007 and discovered that Outlook 2007 is a dog performance
wise. A very very slow dog.

  I called Microsoft and they told me that they have not heard about this
problem before and that I should contact my computer maker (DELL) because my
software was pre-installed. I contacted DELL and they will be getting back
to me on a possible solution. I'm just dreading a re-install because I've
spent an inordinate amount of time trying to transfer folders and files to
this new notebook.

  I have read elsewhere that it is a problem between office 2007 and duel core
processors. Why has microsoft not heard of the problem?

  I find it difficult to believe that Microsoft is not aware of this problem.
How can I reach Microsoft to tell them of this problem?

BTW, my copy of Office 2007 came directly from Microsoft and I installed it
myself so this is not really a Dell issue.

  DELL has gotten back to me with a solution that seemed to work. Following
these steps:

1. Open Outlook as an Administrator by going to C:Programs/Microsoft
Office/Office12 and right clicking on the Outlook exe program. Choose "Run
as Administrator".
2. Then once Outlook opens, go to Tools, then Trust Center, then Addins.
3. Click "Go..." at the bottom and uncheck Outlookaddins.
4. To maximize speed, they recommended to uncheck everything EXCEPT Windows
Indexing, which, according to them, is the only useful addin anyway.

When I did this, the speed of my Outlook 2007 improved significantly;
although, we will all have to wait for Microsoft to release the update that
fixes this issue completely.

I hope this helped you.

  Thanks for getting back on this. When I try to change to administrator it
asks for a password. When I installed Office I was not asked to establish a
password. I left it blank and it would not let me change to administrator.
Did you get a generic password from Dell?

Thanks,

  I was able to get into the Trust Center and unchecked everything but the
Search add-in. This made a huge difference. It runs much faster now. Thanks
for the help.

  Monty,

This worked great. Thank you for sharing your solution. It is running at
par with 2003 now.

  Monty- I had the same problem. I went in and "unchecked" all the Add-Ins I
could, but there were 3 or 4 that wouldn't let me due to Registry issues,
namely the Business Contact Manager. How do I take care of these?

  Leave them and see if there is any improvement on your Outlook 2007's speed.
If it's still slow, please contact your laptop/PC maker. It was DELL that
gave me this solution.
