Hi All...

I'm running Office 2003 and Windows XP SP2.

It seems I end up w/ multiple (2-3 instances) "outlook.exe" entries in
my task manager, which I need to End Task to get to close.

Any ideas? Thx!

John
 
Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you click
either the X or Exit:

1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle.
2. WinFax Pro (especially 10.02 in Outlook 2003) - contact their support
for an alleged fix.
3. Franklin-Covey Plan Plus!
4. COM Add-ins.
5. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the background
to check for new mail and fire reminders.
6. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and outgoing
mail.
