Why does it take so long (21 sec) to start up Outlook Express?? I used to have a PII 233 and it was MUCH quicker in starting up that program. I understand that the Celeron is not strong in business apps but I mean come on....Outlook Express??
My system runs games just fine. I haven't installed any MS OFFICE apps yet (recently reformatted) so I haven't been able to see if such slow performance is seen in starting Word, Excel, etc.
And btw, the hard drive is not even working hard at all when I try to start up Outlook Express. It's as if the system was thinking:
"oh wait, you wanted me to start up Outlook Express 21 seconds ago...sorry I forgot, but at least I'll remember next time...only after 21 seconds has passed though."

Why? Why does it take so long? Any suggestions on what to do or what the problem may be? The Celeron can't be THAT bad.
