When Messenger is removed using some of the popular uninstall methods, there is one registry key left behind that causes Outlook and Outlook Express to take a long time to load. On some computers, this may be accompanied by an entry in the error log saying "The server {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout"

To fix this, start REGEDIT.EXE and navigate to the key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FB7199AB-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C541}
You can also do a search for this key to get there easily.

In this key, you will find the keys InProc32 and LocalServer32. In both of these keys, there is a default key. Change the default key to a empty string. Reboot your computer after making the change.

If you have antivirus (active) software on your machine this could be the reason also.....try making some exclusions in the virus software.

Excluding pagefile.sys is a definate exlcusion you should make.

the best way I've found to get rid of msn messenger is simply to rename it's program file (Messenger) to something different (e.g. messegnerold). This will stop it being loaded up by windows or outlook - amazingly enough without any errors or anything.

Sorry this isn't a direct reply to your thread, but it is just a general tip.maybe this would solve your problem? (I think it unlikely, but possible)

This worked for me with Outlook. I have not dealt with Express yet.

Similar procedure with outlook express. Also take a look at faq779-4299

I have Hotmail set up as an e-mail account in Outlook. Every time I open Outlook it tries to establish an online link to it. That takes time. Outlook is also my default e-mail program. So, it also tries to establish an online link to my ISP's pop3/smtp server. That also takes time. If I am not connected to the Internet I get error messages after quite a delay and then Outlook operates normally.

I have set the options in Messenger to prevent it from starting at Windows startup. I also have it disabled in Outlook. Otherwise I expect it also would have added to the long startup time for Outlook

You can also tell Outlook not to check for mail when you open it, only when you manually tell it to check. Forget where but it's there somewhere.

My Outlook is set up to check and send/receive e-mails only when I press F9. I think it is really only checking the connection(s) as startup. I think it will check the connection for each defined e-mail account anyway.
