Outlook 97 - MAPISP.exe is using 99% CPU time

[tekquest]

all,

I have a Windows 2000 pro pc (1.8ghz, 256mb ram) and when outlook is opened, it starts to send & receive emails but suddenly the computer starts to slow right down, I check out the task manager and see that MAPISP.exe is using 99% of the computers cpu time...

Does anyone know what might be causing this?? the nic montor in the tray is flashing non stop, its receving data... could it be a large email blocking it up? its an ADSL network and non one else is having the prob.

Thanks,

Luke

Maybe its a third party application that was installed to "enhance" Outlook. We had an issue with Cloudmark Spam filters at my company. After uninstalling that software it seemed to fix the issue.
