Annoying Outlook Bug

by Nick Tuesday, June 12, 2007 1:44 PM

My new laptop for work is a really nice Dell.  In fact, it's the same Dell laptop I bought for myself a few months ago, except it doesn't have some of the extra features I got like Bluetooth and the nicer screen.  Anyway, we use Exchange here and I have Outlook 2007 installed.  However, whenever someone sent me a meeting request, even if they set it up as one time, it was always showing up as recurring.  After some searching, I found the following on Google Groups.  The suggestion was to look in Add/Remove Programs and find the following item:

Sure enough... I looked and there it was.  If you uninstall that, the problem goes away.  I also noticed that uninstalling this program makes Outlook load a lot faster than before.  Previously it seemed like my entire machine was hanging for about 1 minute after Outlook started.  The poster in the forum made it sound like this was something Dell installs by default.

What the heck could be the purpose for this program?!
