10.4: A workaround for slowdowns in updated Office 2004
Authored by: DavidRavenMoon on Jun 01, '06 11:03:17AM

I haven't had any slowdowns in Entourage or Word, since the last MS update, and I use them every day. Prior to the update I found this fix did speed things up a little.

10.4: A workaround for slowdowns in updated Office 2004
Authored by: RussellK on Jun 05, '06 01:25:32PM

Just to clarify: the "lags" I was experiencing were restricted to Entourage. They did not happen while composing messages; rather, they occurred (seemingly randomly) while trying to browse my various folders and subfolders within my main mail account (a POP account). I would select a folder whose contents I wanted to view, and Entourage would just "freeze" for long moments before displaying the list of messages in that folder.

My Entourage use is quite heavy...I have dozens of folders (clients) each with numerous subfolders (specific projects), and my user data hovers around the 3.5 Gig mark (as long as I remember to clean out old projects when I feel it's safe to do so).
