This article was previously published under Q245604



SYMPTOMS
When you install Outlook 98, you can choose to install "Office Sounds and Animated Cursors" components. If you do so, Outlook displays an animated icon every time you send a message. After a while, this can affect Outlook performance.



CAUSE
The construction of this icon causes a small leak of 60 Graphics Device Interface (GDI) surface objects. The objects are never freed properly.



WORKAROUND
Disable animated cursors in Outlook Options.
