Microsoft Outlook 2003: Safe Mode
|
|
|
|
If your computer is running slowly or acting otherwise out of the ordinary when Outlook is open, there is a chance that third party scanning/searching utilities associated with Outlook could be running in the background and causing computing resources to be used up. One way to determine if this is the case is running Outlook in Safe Mode, as doing so will not allow third party programs to run their binaries in conjunction with the Outlook client.
Note: You should only run Outlook in Safe Mode when trying to diagnose a potential problem.
To open Outlook in Safe Mode
1. Open the Start menu and click on Run.
2. Type the command line Outlook /safe in the Open: field (NOTE: There is a space between Outlook and the forward slash). Click OK.
3. This will open the Outlook client in Safe Mode. If Outlook seems to run more quickly or the computer stops behaving in the undesired manner, you more than likely have third party programs that are Outlook aware running in the background. If no difference is made then the source of the problem probably does not involve any third party programs.
