My Outlook never shuts down properly irrespective of what steps I.

[Guest]

It really does not matter as to how I shut down Outlook, it never shuts down
properly. After shutting down, if I want to start again, it never starts
again. I have to always shut down the computer and during PC shut down it
always seem to back up Outlook and then after re-booting the PC when I start
the Outlook it always gives me a message stating that the Outlook did not
shut down properly the last time and if I want to start it in safe mode.
Any help will be appreciated.

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-Cover 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.
