Outlook 2000 SP3 will not close upon the exit command.

[Guest]

On a Win2K-SP4 Operating System the MS-Outlook 2000 SP3, working with an
Exchange 5.0 Server and having all the latest Office-2000 Updates installed,
will not close upon Exit Command. The process will start and the Message Box
appears stating that "Outlook is closing" but the program never does. It
appears to just Hang at that stage and never completes the Exit process. Each
time the Task Manager must be opened and Select and End Task on Applications:
"Mapisp32" & "Outlook.exe". But the next time Outlook-2K is launched the same
process starts over again. Have confirmed that Outlook Options and Mail
Format are set to Rich Text. There are No COM Add Ins being used. Have Closed
all other Programs prior to attempting to Close Outlook. Have ran Repair and
ReInstaalled the MS-Office 2000 SR-1 Professional package but same results.
All of the other Office Components work just fine and so does Outlook except
for this one particular Closing problem. There are several Desktop and LapTop
Computers at our site that are experiencing this same issue. All have the
same Image Setup. Are there any known true resolutions to take care of this
issue?
