The slow typing thing started to happen again. It looks like changing to
'Internet' is only a temporary fix. I've switched to Plain Text till I have
time to research this on the net further. Last time I looked someone was
thinking it has something to do with an update, but haven't had time to
follow up on it.

Hi,
What's suddenly going wrong? I ran into the same problem of slow response
to my typing in Outlook 2002 a few days ago. Erik Jensen's suggestion of
changing from 'Restricted Sites' to 'Internet' has solved the problem . Thank
you.

This fixed the problem for me: In Outlook go to
Tools/Options/Security/Security Zones, change from "Restricted Sites" to
"Internet".

Hi,

I've recently run into an odd thing in Outlook 2003. When I go to type a
new message in the message body there seems to be a huge delay from when I
type something on my keyboard to when it shows on the screen. Typing in the
subject area is fine, and even using the backspace key to delete characters
operates as normal. Just typing new text in the message body area seems
affected.

What i've tried so far is archiving a bunch of my older messages and
compacting the pst file. No luck.

What can be causing this, and how can I fix it?

Thanks!

I noticed it right after the Microsoft update from Tuesday before last.

Renaming the outcmd.dat file did not work for me.

Uninstalling the May 8 XP update ending in "1768" has solved the problem, plus seems to have speeded things up in other areas.
