Outlook.exe will not close

[Thomas]

When I try to log off in Windows XP (I have several users
set up with me as administrator), outlook.exe will not
automatically close. A timer window will appear. I either
have to click it off manually or wait for it to time
itself off before it will go to the users desktop. This
happens when I have opened Outlook and after I have
manually closed the program. If I never accessed when I
was logged on I do not have the problem. How do I get
Outlook.exe to close automatically when I log
off in Windows XP?

I'm having a similar issue with Outlook 2003. When I close Outlook, the process stays open and the only way I can start Outlook again is to bring up the Task Manager and cancel the process or, logoff of XP and then log back on. What's going on here?
