Long delay in loading Outlook Express

After stopping some services in Win 2000 Pro in order to speed up my laptop, Outlook Express 5.5 doesn't start immediately when I click on the icon. It eventually loads after about 2-3 minutes of hard drive activity. All other apps load fine and the machine runs well otherwise. Like a fool I didn't write down which services I stopped. Any idea as to which one is the culprit, or if indeed this is the cause of my problem? Thanks in advance for your input.
 
Did you stop anything that has to do with Instant Messenger? If so then that may be the culprit.
