Outlook 2007 won't unload

[Ned Buckmaster]

Most, (but not all, whiich is real confusing) of the time when I shut down
Outlook 2007, running under Vista 64, it will not unload completely. In task
manager, it is not listed in apps but continues to run in processes. It also
continues to download mail. The only way to stop it is to kill it in task
manager, which occasionally makes it unhappy when starting back up -
messages that it was not terminated properly. It displays the new mail icon
in the task bar, but does NOT (I am fairly sure) display reminders until the
executable is started again. Any ideas of how to make it unload completely
when I shut it down?

Thanks,

Ned Buckmaster

Check to see if you have any add-ins that are blocking Outlook from
terminating. You can verify this by removing all of the add-ins; verifying
that Outlook exists and then re-adding them to find the offending item.
