New Appointments Slow

I'm running Windows Vista with Outlook 2007 and Microsoft ActiveSync for my
HTC Touch. I've also got Groupwise 7 installed because that's what my work
used for E-mail. Recently (since I re-installed Groupwise), whenver I try to
create a new appointment in Outlook, the program seems to freeze for ~5
minutes. If I click on the X to close the program, it tells me that the
program is not responding. If I just let outlook sit for a while (usually
~5minutes), then it eventually pops up the new appointment screen. After
that first delay for a new appointment, the subsequent appointments are
created quickly.

Anyone know why it's so slow on that first appointment? Any idea how I can
fix it?

Thanks!!!

ActiveSync doesn't run on Vista. You need to use the Windows Mobile Device
Center.

What add-ins are installed in Outlook?

You're right, I'm using Windows Mobile Device Center... sorry for confusion.

The only "add in" that I know of is google calendar.

Any ideas?
Thx!

Have you tried uninstalling that to see if it makes a difference? Are you
using Google Desktop Search as well?
