Outlook 2003 quits instead of minimizes

When I click the minimize button on my Outlook 2003 window, rather than
minimizing into my taskbar, the entire program just quits. No error message,
no request to send error report. I have to restart the program to get back to
it. This just starting happening about 1 week ago and I've had this version
of Outlook for over a year now.

Are there any patches I can find and install that will fix this problem?
 
Are you sure that it is really quiting? Outlook 2003 allows it to be setup
so it does not stay in the Taskbar when you minimize it. When it does this
you will only see the Outlook icon in the System Tray (next to the clock at
the bottom right). To reopen Outlook simply double click on the Outlook
icon and it will maximize. To change this setting right click on the
Outlook icon in the System Tray and uncheck Hide When Minimized.

I hope this information is helpful.
