Occasional blank messages in Outlook 2007
I have Norton Internet Security on my laptop with Outlook 2007 and Windows
XP. Only on that laptop do I find that every third or every other newer email message suddenly comes up blank when I start outlook. What may be causing this and how can it be fixed? Thanks! -- Craig Salt Lake City |

Occasional blank messages in Outlook 2007
A lot of modern Antivirus products will scan your e-mail for you as it's
received (and sometimes sent too). On the surface of it this seems like a good idea but in practice it often causes problems with Outlook such as blank messages, missing attachments, stalls and hangs and other performance issues. And, it's not even really necessary. If your antivirus software is "running resident" (which means sitting in memory and scanning every file you open/run in real-time) anyhow then any malware that comes into your e-mail won't be able to infect your machine. As soon as you tried to open it your anti-malware software will detect the problem and stop it. My recommendation is to turn off the e-mail scanning module of your anti-malware software. Outlook will run better without it. ( Troubleshooting Outlook - http://www.officeforlawyers.com/outlook/tsol.htm ) Norton can be particularly bad and you'll probably have to uninstall it and reinstall it minus the e-mail scanning to really get it disabled. Or you could uninstall it and then download/install Microsoft Security Essentials instead. -- -Ben- Ben M.
