This is bad news! Your message indicates that I now need to FIX my XP
install! I did a search on MS knowledge base and found references to bad
TCP/IP stacks that can cause this. My search was not very diligent,
though and I may do some more research. Maybe I will just leave it alone
and tell my wife that I need a faster computer! A good excuse to
upgrade, no?

Keep us posted if you should find a solution, and I will do likewise.

reinstall of Win XP. Previously, the loading was very fast. I have
somehow made a setting that causes the delay.

XP Pro and experience such delays when starting Outlook XP. In my case,
my mail file is very large and it takes a bit to load
