Outlook 2000 locks up upon close

[Patrick]

I have an office in which all the systems are running winodws 2000 professional
with all the latest service packs Running Office 2000 premium. on some of the
systems outlook will freeze up when you go to close it.. the little box
that says its shutting down will just stay there. Trying to open it again
will fail as the process is still running (some users have had up to 10
instances running in the task manager) Unless and until you kill that process
you can not open outlook again.
Now this has occured on a few of the systems... not all.. but once it starts
happening to a system it always happens from that time forth.

any ideas on what I can check for to see why this is occuring?

Have you run Detect and Repair from the help menus yet?

Do you have any programs running that access outlook's data - this includes
ActiveSync or pda software along with other programs.

no... nothing like that... its happening on 3 machines out of 20 that are
configured identically with exception of the accounts they access.

I have just finished them at your suggestion and that has made no differance on
any of the three machines
