Cannot stop applications in Task Manager

G

Hi, a Win XP Home pc I was working on is having the
following problem: After opening Outlook 2000, and say an
e-mail message and perhaps an attachment, and closing the
programs, the processor utilization was pegged @ 100%. I
noticed the apps were still running, but I was unable to
close them in Task Manager. After opening and then
closing Outlook again, the apps closed and the processor
was released. Any ideas to investigate? Thanks
