Vista - Why does my Windows Mail take 2 mins 15 secs. to open after splash

02-02-2009

It takes a full 2 mins. and 15 seconds for my Windows Mail to open 'after the
splash screen appears'. What could possibly be causing this? I've
uninstalled the KB931768 that I read from a google search could be causing
this but I reinstalled within half hr almost immediately for fear of being
vulnerable. I thought I could re-uninstall it but now the KB number has
changed and I don't know where that problem causing KB is. I've compacted
Windows Mail in control panel. I've unisntalled my spy program. I still use
NOD32 for AV with no prob. The only problem is Windows Mail takes forever to
open. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello Katy,

You might see if this can help you sort this out.

Windows Mail Slow

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Your antivirus software could be the problem. See point 3 here:
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 You might also try compacting and repairing
the database with my Windows Mail utility: www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/

Just a personal thought. WM has issues and WLM has just as many if not more

Having both WLM and WM installed and running I can tell you that WLM
launches much faster then does WM

Perhaps, but the issues are different. A specific issue that bothers one user
may not bother another user. There is no harm in trying out WLM to see if it
suits one's needs better.
