I turn off my compter I can start Outlook once...but not a second time.

Perhaps Outlook is already running. Look on the Processes tab of Task
manager to see if OUTLOOK.EXE is there.

No...it is not.

Probably because Outlook is still running in the background.
Next time you close Outlook, check Task Manager, running processes tab for
Outlook.exe.
If found select the process, click end Btn, accept the warning about loss of
data.

No...it is not running in the backgroud. Nothing in TM

Are you looking at the Processes tab or the Applications tab? You must use
the former.

Run Outlook, exit, wait a while, restart Outlook, presumably it wont start,
Check TM - presumably you know how to sort running process alphabetically.
Is outlook.exe shown?

 

[Chris Riley-Tillman]

Got it...

Ok...how do I stop that, or do I have to go to TM every time to close it?

The primary cause of Outllook problems is often an anti virus program that
is intergrated with outlook. Often it is neccessary to completely uninstall
the AV program, reboot, before testing outlook again.
It is not neccessary to intergrate AV scanning within Outlook since any
decent AV will detect nasties with its real time scanner.
AN AV can be reinstalled without the Outlook intergration
