"Outlook (2003) is preparing the requested view" - since October updates

I've been having this problem as well. After a bit of Googling, I
decided to turn off the "View | Show in Groups" menu option, then
restart Outlook.
It's only been an hour or so since I tried it, and it seems to have
worked, but I don't know whether the problem is truly fixed in the
long term. I'm watching to see if it returns.
But you might try it anyway. Let us know if it helps!
Thanks for your feedback. I am relieved that we aren't the only onces
experiencing this. Our default configuration doesn't have "Show in Groups"
set so this was not a cause/fix for us unfortunately.
So far I have uninstalled the below:
1. KB973705 - NO CHANGE
2. Outlook 2003: Junk E-mail Filter (KB974771) - NO CHANGE
3. Security Update for Microsoft Office 2003 (KB974554) FM20 (a real pain
to get rid of) - NO CHANGE
4. Security Update for Microsoft Office 2003 (KB972580) - NO CHANGE
Strange and disappointing that there has been no official word from
Microsoft on this matter. It looks like I will have hunt down which of
this month's many patches has caused this problem and hold back on
deploying it to all of our users. Thank goodness we do sufficient testing
to catch this stuff before rolling it out in our environment!!
If anyone has any updates or further information on this please let us
know. Thanks.
