You mentioned error, is there an error message? What does it say? Does
Outlook behave the same way if you start it in safe mode?

Start Run outlook.exe /safe (note that there is a space between
outlook.exe and /safe)

clients in which Outlook takes long time when you create or reply first
message after starting outlook , our clients are windows XP with SP3 and
the
Microsoft office is office 2003 with SP3 , My machine suffers from this

have Mcafee Viruscan Enterprise 8.5.0i
