outlook.exe resides in memory after exiting application--must kil.

[Guest]

Has anyone run into a problem where Outlook 2003 continues to reside in
memory after exiting the application? The icon stays on the task bar. If
you try to launch Outlook again, it fails. The only way to fix it is to kill
the outlook.exe process in task manager. I have had the same problem on 2
laptops with different builds of XP and 2000. I was working until I upgraded
to 2003 each time.

Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you click
either the X or Exit:

1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle.
2. WinFax Pro (especially 10.02 in Outlook 2003) - contact their support
for an alleged fix.
3. Franklin-Cover Plan Plus!
4. COM Add-ins.
5. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the background
to check for new mail and fire reminders.
6. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and outgoing
mail.
