Outlook 2000 100% CPU Utilization FixFor those of you who use Outlook 2000, SP3, and have been severely annoyed when it occasionally took up 100% of your CPU power, Microsoft has finally released a patch for it. More info here: 20 Commentslarry said on 01/09/04 @ 08:56 AM:Thank you for the URL to the Outlook patch, it worked great. franky said on 03/23/04 @ 10:39 PM: thanx a lot, it worked perfect. I did not find this patch in the MS knowledge base, but i found it with google, :-) Andy said on 04/01/04 @ 04:04 AM: Had to view many sites and forums from Google researching this problem. You guys had it right on -- problem solved. Thanks alot guys!! Also, great site, I will be back. George Skafidas said on 06/03/04 @ 02:34 AM: Hi guys, I spend a lot of time searching in Microsoft's support pages trying to find this solution with no success. Thank you Jeff Watkins said on 06/11/04 @ 12:51 PM: Thanks - it worked for me as well. My computer was really CPU bound. Thanks for your work on this site. John said on 08/18/04 @ 01:19 PM: I found the update, applied it, and I'm still getting 100% CPU issues...hmmm... Peter said on 09/29/04 @ 01:04 AM: Applied this patch to Terminal Server. Problem solved. Thanks Charlie K said on 01/12/05 @ 11:19 AM: Thanks, quick, to the point and it worked. Jean CORDIER said on 02/02/05 @ 07:15 AM: As for other people, great thanks for this solution which is not visible in MS KB (boring MS...) SteveB said on 07/01/05 @ 05:03 AM: Great. Thanks Pierre said on 09/02/05 @ 04:58 AM: I am still getting a lot of CPU on Terminal Server Outlook. How should I know if the patch is correctly applied? Brian said on 09/08/05 @ 04:12 PM: I'm also having the same problem; applying the above patch did not work. I can click on a few email once Outlook opens but invariably within a few clicks CPU usage spikes up to 100% and I have to kill Outlook in the task manager. Has anyone found any other solution? Garry said on 06/17/06 @ 01:00 PM: Thank-you. This problem popped up after a (forced) re-install. Fix did the trick. Bodie said on 09/26/06 @ 07:28 PM: Right on! Glad you are at the top of Google's list. patricia said on 12/04/06 @ 08:08 AM: Drats, the hotfix installer systematically encounters an error (1601) and so i can't install the patch! Even a reinstall of windows instaler does not help and my cpu is constantly at 100 percent.... Any ideas??? joshua said on 10/24/07 @ 04:45 AM: Thanks. It was a real bit-- of a problem. I almost switched to thunder and lightning from mozilla. Randeweg said on 05/23/08 @ 03:46 AM: My cure was to NOT display: "voorbeeldweergave" in Dutch.. in English: (litteral) example reproduction Menu> Picture..? (=3th from the left: not the 1st = FILE , not the 2nd, but..the 3th from left)> then example ... Sorry, I don't have the English version... SUCCES!! THNKS for the suggestions!! Greetz, Ro. Alex said on 10/28/08 @ 10:01 AM: I don't think that there is a tool that interaction direct with CPU on 100%,but try-fix outlook 2000 contacts list,program, that is 100% compatible with Microsoft Exchange Server, that is why it represents one of the most popular mail clients,recover all emails, contacts, messages, tasks and calendars,also all contacts, as well as messages, tasks and calendars are stored in *.ost format,can export contacts to *.vcf files, that can be exported to Personal Information Management (PIM) tools or Windows Address Book,on the end can recover a list of files in *.eml, *.vcf and *.txt formats. Kevin Andrews said on 01/12/11 @ 01:19 AM: Thanks very much for this fix suggestion, going to try this on a pc that starts using over 50% cpu after sending and recieving. PC is running Outlook 200 IMO. Kevin Andrews said on 01/12/11 @ 01:50 AM: After installing this patch on Office 2000 SP3 the CPU usage hasn't gone above 50% again. Thanks very much for posting this fix! Post a comment |
