It began late last week. Outlook Express takes a very long time to show its GUI at all, a long time after that to become responsive, and when it does become responsive it is intolerably slow. Prior to this Outlook Express has functioned very well for me. I greatly prefer it to Windows Live Mail and other email programs I have looked over.
I traced it back, and this happened about the time I found an old download file for TuneUp Utilities by AVG. and installed it. It took me a long time to get every trace of TuneUp Utilities, but I finally have. Unfortunately Outlook Express is still showing unprecedented sluggishness.
Any ideas for rescuing OE itself?
