Outlook 2007 hanging - OFFLB.EXE

The Title basically explains the problem. But heres the story. Since upgrading to Office 2007 Outlook seems to hang every few minutes. ) Each time Outlook freezes I can see the OFFLB.EXE process pops up in task manager. If i manually kill the OFFLB process then Outlook works again, however, after a few more minutes the cycle starts and Outlook begins locking up again. Any help on soving this would be great. The PC is a dell GX620 2GB RAM. Problem only started after upgrading OFFice What does OFFLB.EXE actually do?

What i've tried:
Uninstalled Office and ran a clean/full install
Patch Windows (XP Pro) and Office with the latest updates, fixes and service packs
Creating a new Outlook profile
Loading in safe mode

Will carry on troubleshooting

I've never had this problem before but now ShrePoint Designer keeps freezing and when I look at the Process list Offlb.exe is there ...sometimes, ending the process un-freezes Sharepoint but most of the time it doesn't.

As it stands now...Sharepoint Designer is unuseable HELP!
