IF I get any nuisance factors with WM, I will uncheck the Auto log on and go for Mr.Magik`s fix.Ģ) I am absolutely certain now that Mr.Magik`s solution will work fine when the WM box is unchecked, without any problems.īy deleting the default servers in ProcServer32 and LocalServer32, leaving only blanks, OE/Windows will not then try to find the default servers, thereby slowing OE down to a snails pace. I do not know what Windows Messenger really is and furthermore don`t care, but so long as I get no problems in having it and my OE is fixed - great. Right-click the shared folder, and then select Delete Folder or Delete Calendar, depending on the folder type.

Look under Shared for any shared folders, as shown in the following screenshot.

These servers did not register with DCOM within the required timeout and we grow older waiting.ġ) I checked the Auto log on to WM and WOW ! OE now loads like lightening. Select the Calendar, Contacts, Tasks or Notes folder in the Navigation pane in which you have a shared folder open. This is because by effectively disabling WM and leaving the default servers entered in ProcServer32 and LocalServer32, an entry is made in the system error log. God it takes ages for OE to load, which gave rise to my thread. To set the root folder path for your IMAP account: 1. I HAD 'Automatically log on to Windows Messenger' unchecked. Unfortunately, Outlook doesn’t detect this automatically but you can set it manually. Once both (Default) values are empty, OE will open normally Now perform exactly the same step with the key directly underneath, namely In the right-hand pane, double-click on the (Default) value and delete whatever is entered there, leaving it blank.

To fix this, open Regedit and navigate to this key: The server did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. This will be shown by an entry in the system error log: Sometimes removing or disabling Windows (or MSN) Messenger causes OE to open slowly. Not sure if this problem ever got solved BUT in case it did notĪnd also for future reference here is a fix. Hi People.Name is Phil and i am noob (5 minutes) to the forum. Mr.Majik`s remedy follows - NOTE THE DATE ! I would not try it unless I could recover what was deleted.Ĭan OE operate with blanks in these DEFAULT fields ? Has anybody some real technical explanation as to whether this action is OK ?

Mr.Majik has now disappeared off radar, perhaps it exorcised him as well. It is now 18 March 09 and my OE still takes forever to load.Īs one of the replies suggested, the following piece of mischief by Mr.Majik
