Synching the RSS feeds with IE is a known cause for problems and slowdowns.

Use the Trust Center, Add-Ins tab to disable that Access addin unless you
absolutely need it to run, it's a known source of problems.

Are you using an A-V product that scans incoming and outgoing emails? Kill
that function immediately. It's known to cause blank emails (lost and
unrecoverable if downloaded from the server) and to cause other problems.
Besides, it's completely unnecessary.

Hello:
Since last Thurs or Friday, Outlook has been acting very strangely. It
takes forever to download, and then many/most/all of the emails are BLANK!
Also, when it does this, my "filters" temporarily don't work, so
everything
is dumped into my In-Box. The only things I can remember happening was
(perhaps) a Windows update, and also I responded "yes" when Windows asked
me
whether it should synchronize my RSS feeds with Outlook. The latter
function
seems to work fine.

Also, each time I open one of the emails, I get this message: heading
"Custom UI Runtime Error in Microsoft Access Add-In for Data Collection
and
Publishing", message "An error occurred while calling the callback:
"Ribbon-GetDCVisible". I have no idea what this means, and I can't find
how
to turn off this add-in, if I actually have it.

I have a Gateway desktop system (5 months old) with Vista, fully and
automatically updated. I have my virus/spyware programs set to scan every
night, and there have been no viruses. I regularly defrag my harddrive.
I
also scanned with the following programs, which found nothing unusual:
Registry Mechanic, TUT/The Ultimate Troubleshooter, and Ace Utilities.
(I'm
not really an advanced user, but these utilities usually solve any
problems I
have.)

I hope someone can help me figure this out! Thanks.
