Hi All,

Anyone notice anything strange with Outlook 2010 and
W-10-home edition lately?Â* Things like seizing up?
Taking forever to read an iMap server?Â* Resynchronizing
for a couple of hours with iMap?Â* Just a mess.

Followup:

When I got there, the first thing I did was to call
his cable modem provider (Charter) and ask him to
log into his modem and read the signal levels.
The tech made a gasp and said the modem was way out of
spec and shows frequent drops of carrier. I asked
him what times of day the drop occurred and they
corresponded to Outlook seizing. Charter
will be out next week to rewire the place.

I also ran a full diagnostic on his computer. I found
something wrong with either his video card or driver,
so I upgraded his driver.

He also had a badly crashed Windows 1705 update, sending
him into an endless download and install cycle and running
his hard drive at 100%, so I deleted his update cache
and started over.

His hard drive passed with flying colors. I did not
check his memory, as that takes forever and is
unreliable at best. (All my custom machines use
ECC memory.) I use the memory test on my Linux
Live USB sticks.

Thank you all for the tips!

I still wish folks did not use Outlook.
