Default Outlook 2000 Chews up CPU when idle

I am running Office 2000 on XP Pro SP2 on a E6600 processor and when I am
doing nothing in outlook, it is using 50% of my CPU resources. I have used
the CD to "reinstall" office and this does not help.

Is there a way that I find out why Outlook is using so much CPU when it
should be idle? Is there a way to fix this problem?

What Office service pack do you have installed? The reason that I ask is
that there is a known issue with SP3 that causes this behavior for Outlook
2000 when it is configured in Internet Mail Only mode*.

* Yes, Microsoft has an update for it on their Office update site.

Thank you for replying. Yes, I have SP3 installed and I am running internet
mail only. But I cannot find the proper update to fix this. Any more
insight would be helpful.

Thank you.

Thanks, the main site does not show that it solves this problem. So I have
installed the update and it should be fine now.
