Outlook asks for a profile at startup

[Jean-Paul Hahn]

Hi there

I'm using Outlook 2003 on a stand-alone PC. Since several weeks I have the
problem that after booting a pop-up windows appears and asks me to select a
profile. But the windows does not react at all. All I can do is open the
task manager and kill Outlook.exe. After that Outlook starts ok.

I do not have any entry for Outlook in the automatic startup.

Any hints/tips

Best regards

Jean-Paul

Have you checked all the Run keys in the registry?

I think so. Which ones do you have in mind?

No entries in these keys. Today I also get messages about

Do you have any addins or external programs that could be triggering Outlook
to run? Something like a PDA Sync, Fax program, etc?

 

[Jean-Paul Hahn]

Yes

I have installed intellisynch and a version of an Outlook SMS plugin from
red oxygen. Do you believe that this plugin causes the problem?

I'd think it might be IntelliSync
