I doubt that speed is the issue. I use two computers, both Dells. One has a Xeon 1.5MHz, the other, a laptop has a Pentium III, Mobile cpu 866MHz. Yesterday, on the Xeon machine, Outlook disappeared, but I was able to get it back by retrieving all windows. Of course, that screen was then populated by half a dozen other programs, as well! I haven't tried Mode 2 either.

This has to be a general problem because it occurs on both my laptop and my workstation.
