My Outlook is going berserk

[Guest]

Help! About four hours ago I tried to send a message with a large
attachement. I don't want to know about file size and that stuff, but how do
I kill an outbound message that is spinning its wheels in my outbox?

This has been going on for hours and won't stop. I've restarted, shut down,
and tried everything that I can but it keeps going and won't send.

How do I kill that message and get back to normal? It is also driving my
CPUs up the wall too.

Help

The message should be in your outbox...Try going into there and deleting it.

It won't let me delete. I can't do anything with it. The little icon in the
lower right hand corner just keeps turning and turning -- as I said this has
been going on for over five hours and it won't stop despite my requent
restarts and shut downs.

If you can restart in Safe Mode, see if you can delete from your Outbox that
way.

Have you tried to drag it to archives and delete it there? That worked for
me yesterday.

No, it won't let me drag it to Archives. I get an error message that says
that that is impossible to do. So I don't know how you did it.

The whole situation is just supernatural. Because it affects my whole
system. I try an action like deleting and then I can't close the program -- I
get error messages that say "Program is not responding," etc. Then my CPUs
start whirring away and it makes it sound like my tower is going to explode.
I swear. I have never experienced anything like this. Usually you can solve
problems or can come to a board like this and get it fixed. But this has been
going on since early this am and most of the day is gone.

Will this go on forever?
