Please wait while Microsoft Outlook exits.

Greetings

Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003, Windows XP, with Outlook
2000 SP3. (this is happening on a few 2000 Pro
workstations too) Recently when exiting Outlook, the
screen "Please wait while Microsoft Outlook exits."
displays and never goes away. I can kill outlook.exe in
task manager but it is a pain in the arse. I have seen
lots of post with this question but none that have an
answer?

Assistance would be appreciated,

Geoff
