Hi,

I've read many of the questions relating to TB not responding and it appears that it is related to anti virus, however I've restarted windows 7 in safe mode with networking, however TB still not responding. I've also ran TB in safe mode while still in windows safe mode and still not responding. I've uninstalled & re-installed TB all to no avail. I've uninstalled a program I recently installed although it was unrelated but still no change.

I solved it by going in to Tools/Options/Advance then unchecking Enable Global Search & Indexer

Is your computer a little on the "slow side of things" historically the global search was something of an issue back when it was first introduced. It can sometime be an issue while the initial synchronization of large mail stores occurs. But this is almost always on lower powered machines

Does your machine specification come close the these minimums ?

   Pentium 4 or newer processor that supports SSE2
   1GB RAM
   200 MB hard drive space
