Slow Browsing for Attachments

Hi there,
I have a laptop (win XP Pro, office2k3) that when trying to browse for an
attachment, the laptop seems to stop responding for a couple of minutes,
then it clears up and you can switch folders, etc...
We do have a network drive mapped, but when just using Word, this does not
happen.
Any suggestions as to where to look first?

Thank you,
Bob

also, when I disconnect from the network (disabling wireless) I can browse
nice and quick.
But the strange thing is even on the network, browsing (trying to open
files) thru word and Excel does not seem to be a problem.
I would think Outlook is the culprit, or should I look at some network issue
or a different group?

PS. I have run a "detect and repair", a "repair inbox' using scanpst.exe and
am running fully patched MS Office 2003 Basic SP3.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm going to tag along because I have a user with the same issue. XP Pro
SP2, Office 2003, everything fully patched.

The user said it started being real slow a week or so ago. Other clients on
the same LAN have very fast browsing for attachments, but his is slow,
especially on network drives.
