Default Outlook 2000 Hangs for 3-5 minutes on startup. Help!

I have the strangest problem. Outlook 2000 will hang for 3-5 minutes
on startup. I get past the splash screen, into my inbox. Then I get
the hour glass for a cursor and if i try to exit it says program not
responding. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling. I have tried
Safe Mode. I have tried the "safe" switch while in safe mode.
Nothing works. Please help.

Thanks In advance!

Have you tried to actually create a new profile? I don't believe
uninstalling Outlook actually deletes the existing outlook profile.

A couple of things come to mind. Try deleting the (hidden) file
%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\outcmd.dat and then starting Outlook. Also,
check to make sure your have no network drives.
