Outlook Freezing opening archived item w/EV 10.0

This issue has been solved. See solution.

I have an issue where a few of my employees are having issues when they go to open an archived email in Outlook 2007 and EV 10.0.  It's very similar to this article pertaining to EV 9.0.3: http://www.symantec.com/business/support//index?pa... They go to open an archived email and outlook locks up.  The Outlook.exe process go to full tilt and the memory usage shoots up (and changes), but the item won't and Outlook is frozen.

There are work-arounds that work sometimes, like doing a search for the item and forwarding/replying, which let you see the item and attachments.  As in the mentioned article, I can browse to the EV site just fine.

I can temporarily fix the problem by doing the following:

1) Resetting IE

2) Recreating the Exchange profile

3) Reinstalling the EV Outlook plug-in.

But eventually, the problem returns.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Steve

I was going to try that, but

I was going to try that, but I wanted Symantec to know what was going on with 10.0 so they can work on a fix.

Unfortunately, Steve, there

Unfortunately, Steve, there isn't anything to 'fix' at the moment, yours is the first report of this type of issue.  So without the investigation part being done, and due process followed, nothing will happen.  [I tried the same combination as you mentioned, and it works fine]

Do you have Vault Cache and

Do you have Vault Cache and Virtual Vault enabled?

Are there any other third party Outlook Add-ins installed?

What OS's are affected?

Have you got a client log as an example?  [Note: It might also be necessary to obtain user dumps, but, that'll come down the line in time, and there isn't an easy way to share that on the forums]
