Because several readers write about their computer responding slowly, I am posting a summary checklist of general things you can do to resolve the 0x800ccc78 Outlook Errorproblem, and briefly discussing the three most common causes : malware, uncontrolled applications, and lack of maintenance.
Malware
Perhaps the most important contributor to a badly performing computer is malware. Usually this is related to downloading a software that contains spyware, by not having browser security settings high enough, by carelessly downloading P2P files, or by declining to install security sections in a timely manner.
Step 1. Revise the explanations of your antivirus and run a complete scan of your drive in Safe Mode. Resolve any unfixable problems. Notice that some infections need additional steps until they may be removed; generally a websearch will locate specific directions or a special removal tool. Use the BC forums to obtain assistance, if you can’t find a answer.
Step 2. You’ve recently downloaded an application, and if the slowness is unexpected, the problem may dwell there. Test this by totally eliminating it. A user will typically perform a websearch about the program before installing because in most cases, any potential issue with malware or inferior performance will have appeared.
Stage 3. Adware and Spyware can drastically effect your computer’s operation, and these are all over the Net.
Update the explanations of your anti spyware applications and check your hard drives in Safe Mode. Experienced customers will often operate several of the applications, because each business has its own criteria for what constitutes spyware and will only search against their own established. (A record of quite great, free anti spyware programs is supplied by BC). Again, resolve any open issues before proceeding to the next phase.
For additional reading about Malware and some malware removal applications, use BC’s Tutorial section; most of the programs have very great Help documents that explain how they work also as the special attributes of each.
Uncontrolled Applications
Stage 4. Evaluation applications that self-start on startup. You pc may become a battleground for your interest. Many programs, for example, install a fast-start feature which permits them to be opened quickly; other programs will comprise an automated update feature that requires them to be operating in the background. Each of these decreases your launch Windows and each requires a small bit of assets while your personal computer is running.
If, for instance, you have Spybot Search and Destroy, you may use its startup tool that lists startups and lets you to turn off any you do not need. In case you are unsure about what could be safely deleted, remember that Bc maintains a very comprehensive Startup Database that contains info about whether the item is needed, discretionary, or not needed.
At-the same time, remember that those symbols on your Desktop also take a modest number of boot time to place themselves.
Lack of Upkeep
Step 5. Delete unused applications and transfer old files to a CD. Unplayed games, lots of family images, zipped files that you have previously opened, applications you haven’t used in two years, software for the old printer you put away last year—these are some examples of files you can delete.
(Note for higher level users: some specialists would comprise the added maintenance stage of cleaning up the Windows registry, and there are several apps to assist do that. For the most part, registry care won’t make a significant difference, and unless you’re quite comfortable with Windows, and cautiously make copies of the registry, you can do severe harm by creating registry modifications, so this step is not included
Stage 6. Run scandisk / checkdisk in Safe Mode. Have it mend 0x800ccc78 Outlook Error.
Stage 7. Defragment your computer.
Hopefully, since you have have finished, you will find a noticeable improvement in pc performance.
