Outlook "not responding"

[mplr64]

I have search nearly every post related to this problem and still no solution. When I navigate from one email to the next the program will go “not responding” for a couple of seconds.
I have followed several suggestions, but to no avail. Listed below is some of the suggestions I followed.
Removing all add-ons, enable/disable indexing, scanning and fixing PST/OST files, installing Windows 7 Pro 32bit and 64bit, installing on RAID 7 and no RAID, using different hard disks Seagate and WD, update all drivers, scanned the memory for defects, removing flash player.

I know this has been posted several times, but any help is welcome

Which Office/Outlook version are you using?

Which email provider?

 

[mplr64]

Office 2007 Pro SP2

I have three profiles, two POP and one Exchange. The problem is the same with all and even if I install one at a time

I also found the following entry in my Event log, but if I use the online log(TechNet) I get a reply "no result found". It is not limited to Outlook, some of the entries is explorer related

The program OUTLOOK.EXE version 12.0.6539.5000 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Is it possible that your anti-virus program is scanning each mail, causing Outlook to 'not respond' briefly?

Here is a very comprehensive article on issues which might impede Outlook 2007 performance...

Very good point.

I wonder what AV(S) they are running???

I have seen this when the user had more than one AV running at the same
time.

YMMV

I disabled real time scanning from MacAfee, still have the same problem

If you're running McAfee's fire wall, allow the connection.

I also disabled firewall, it made no difference. It's not only with new messages, the problem occurs even when I’m navigating between old emails in the Inbox.

Searching the net I found several people on different forums with the same problem. Some posts refer to hardware (motherboard and Graphic card), but with the latest driver the problem persist.

I am sorry to admit it, mpir64, but I am stumped.

Might I suggest that you contact Microsoft Support.... Contact Us

If they manage to fix it for you, please post back and let us know what was causing the problem.
