Re: Beware, after installing Office 2008 SP1, the next computer startup

Do you perhaps have Entourage set to open automatically when you login 
or on launch?  This should only happen when you launch Entourage for the 
first time after installing--it has to reformat your database. How large 
is your identity?

A warning that the next Erage launch will be slow would be good.
