OUTLOOK.EXE Process

I just bought a Dell PDA and I it came with Outlook 2002.
I installed it and it runs great but when I exit the
OUTLOOK.EXE process stays open. When I open my email
later another Process opens and also stays open. If I
open and close Outlook 5 times in a day there will be 5
processes open and the computer takes forever to
shutdown. I have been manually shutting the processes off
before I shutdown but this is ridiculous. Can anyone help?
I tried running the Update for it but like every office
update I have ever tried to run it failed. It asked me
for the disk, I put it in and it told me it was invalid.
Just like every office update I have tried. I actually
dont know one person that has ever got an office update to
work.

Thank you for any ideas you have about the Outlook.

>Be sure you're using the latest version (3.7.1) of
ActiveSync. Then, either turn off your cradled Axim
prior to closing Outlook or close outlook (and the
process remains running) then trun off the cradled Axim.
The process should stop. It is ActiveSync that keeps the
process open if the Axim is cradled and turned on.
