    Since I installed Windows 7 Home Pre., my comp shuts down very slowly. I have tried all the suggestions on Microsoft's pages, but to no avail. turned off non MS services, but that did nothing. Now Ms Outlook is slowing down and in some cases will not send an email. This has happened since I revved up hot mail. It's at good thing there are no windows in my office or I would throw the ---- out.

    I have timed the shutting for 5 miniutes and no shorter than 3. As I mentioned, I have tried everything suggested on the MS web pages and nothing worrks.

    I solved the Outlook problem.

    The shut-down problem has been solved. The link to another BB gave a suggestion re the Registry and it worked! Thanks.

    Now, I spoke too soon about Outlook. I cannot send emails. I do receive some. I signed up on Hotmail and use Outlook Connector. I upgraded to Windows 7 and can send the emails through that meanas.

    Can you tell us what the solution was, or at least provide the link to the suggestion in the other BB? Some of us may have the same problem.

    Thanks.

    I followed the link Runner posted and the suggestion was to go to an entrry on the registry and change the value of the swap/page file from 1 to 0, and it worked!
