Answer

One of the big problems folks have been having with Office 2007 is Outlook. Sluggish, serious performance lags. All the things you don’t want in your "latest and greatest" e-mail client. Looks like, thanks to Mack D. Male, there is a solution:

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.
