very slow when selecting recipients

Hi

I am running Vista Business and have a few issues with Mail.

I can handle the occasional 'not responding' error, but when selecting
"create mail" and then the "To:" box to open a list of contacts it's VERY
slow, around 10-15 seconds before I get chance to pick from my list of
contacts.

Is this a known problem?, is it due to the size of my contacts list? - any
help appreciated.

I'm running a Core Duo 6600 with 4gb RAM, with a windows experience index of
5.0, so I don't think it's the machine.

Any help really appreciated, thanks.

Neil

Try this speedup fix:

If it doesn't help, I suggest you upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
