corrupt outcmd.dat file
Hello everyone,
We have a few users here that have Outlook problems come up every couple of months or so (Outlook locks up or is slow when responding to emails). In all these cases, the OUTCMD.DAT file has usually grown to 1 or 2 MB. After I rename the file (OUTCMD.OLD for example) and restart Outlook, they're back working ok...until the file expands again. Any idea what might be causing this and what we might be able to do to stop this ? Users are on Windows XP SP2 and running Outlook 2000. Thanks in advance for any help -

corrupt outcmd.dat file
Thanks for your response, neo. There are no 3rd party programs
installed that I'm aware of. Are there any in particular I should be looking for ?

None in particular. Just wanted to you focus on what creates/deletes menu
bars in Outlook. This will cause the file to grow and eventually corrupt. wrote in message ps.com... Thanks for your response, neo. There are no 3rd party programs installed that I'm aware of.
