Outlook 2003 will not reopen after closing

[MS News group]

Here is an interesting problem that I need help with.

We have a client with Windows XP and Office 2003.



The office suite programs launch OK but Outlook

has a problem once it launches and appears to close

then it cannot be re-opened. Under the processes list in task manager

OUTLOOK.EXE does not close itself as it should and each subsequent

attempt to open it launches a new occurrence of OUTLOOK.EXE.

When I end the processes then Outlook launches fine again.

The problem repeats for another user logged on a different account

so it is something in the PC that is messing us up and not her profile.

We ran an Office 2003 Office Repair.

We ran an Outlook 2003 Detect and Repair.

Neither helped.



What is causing the process not to close?

Are you running any software that integrates with Outlook? Like
synchronisation software for phone/PDA, WinFax, virusscanner, etc... These
are all programs that could cause Outlook not to close properly.
