Outlook 2007 - Slow Response

OK. Here at work, we just received our enterprise agreement for Windows XP and Office 2007 (yea, a little late on XP, but hey we got it). All three of us in our department installed it and I seem to be the only one who is having problems with it.

Of the 3 PC's being used, 2 of them have the same exact configuration:

Dell GX620
P4 3.4GHZ HT
4GB (3.5gb registered due to Windows XP Pro 32bit)
80GB HD
Radeon X600 with dual 19" LCD DVI - Dell
Windows XP Professional SP2 with ALL updates

Now, my computer is one of these. My other colleague has the same config and his is working fine. Here is my problem:

When I open Outlook 2007, I get HORRIDLY slow response. Sometimes it puts Outlook into the "Not Responding" mode but will come out of it after a few minutes. This happens after the following:

* Switching from folder to folder
* Switching from email to email in the same folder
* When a new email comes in

Now, I know that switching from folder to folder can cause delays due to folders being large, but I keep my whole mailbox clean, no more than a few hundered emails in each folder.

I turned of the reading pane because I thought that this was causing the problem, but it is not. Can anyone help me out here and restore my performance as the same as it was in 2003. Thanks again!
 
Outlook 2007 is known to be dead slow compared to 2003. I may actually be removing 2007 from one of my clients today. His will work great for a while, then take 30-60 seconds to respond. Though his biggest problem is his huge mailbox(16gigs). Do a google search for slow outlook 2007, your not alone.
 
Try installing this update Text It's supposed to fix performance issues that occur when you work with items in a large .pst or .ost file.
 
The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this message when trying to access this download, go to the "Search for a Download" area on the Download Center home page.

Thats what I get when I go to your link...
 
If you have the Business Contact Manger part of Office 2007 installed, remove it. It slows Outlook down quite a bit.
