Outlook 2003 remains running

I have installed Office 2003 Pro and I am having a problem with Outlook
closing. When I close, it appears to do so. When I look in the right side
of the Windows XP Pro Taskbar I see it still there. When I attempt to open
Outlook again it will not. I then looked in the Task Manager/Processes and
see two Outlook.exe's running. When I close them the Icons will go away. I
can then open Outlook but the same thing happens when I close it. For some
reason Outlook remains running.

Please Help
Thanks,Ray

I am experienceing the exact same problem. It is driving me nuts.

(Just my opinion - Office 2003 seems full of bugs. I got i
preinstalled on a Dell 4600 with Win XP Pro. I have Office XP o
another Dell 8250 and have had no problems with it. I have tried
reinstalls of office and still have this and numerous other problem
with Office 2003. Access and Outlook 2003 in particular. I Wonder i
Dell will let my downgrade to XP)

I have run all updates and patches. Tried the "fix problems" utilit
in add remove programs and nothing works. I removed the Busines
Contact Manager as that was the source of another problem when I opene
Outlook.

Can someone please help

I am on hold with dell at this time- not sure what to do. sure seems t
not make sense to upgrade anymore- i think MS and dell need to get
handle on this mess and come up with a fix quick

My experience with XP has been good. But I have seen numerous posts o
people happy with Office 2003. I just wish I could fix this problem.
Outlook 2003 has some nice features that aren't available in XP. Bu
if the program doesn't work what good is it. Dell support wil
probable just tell you to reinstall Office or even Windows and see i
that fixes things.

I cannot find alot of information about this problem. I wonder ho
common it is

as we are talking I am on hold with dell - I paid for the softwar
support- $150.00 for one year- I will let you know what they tell me
I also took business contact manager off the system- I had no problem
with it, but did not see the need in my business. I do have tw
machines- exact twins- the other one I have had no problems with it al
the softwasre is orinally on it. alabasterblack wrote:
