Outlook Icon Problem

[Teched]

Hello, I just loaded Office 2003 Pro. Everything was working great. I have
since installed the recommeded updates and the Outlook Icon continues to
show in the Task Bar area. When I click on it it says "Outlook is not
responding. If you are using an Exchange server e-mail account, you can
cancel pending server requests by clicking the Outlook icon in the
notications area, and then clicking Cancel Server Requests on the shortcut
menu".

What is this all about and how do I REALLY do that? Any help will be greatly
apprciated because after I start Outlook I have to shutdown the computer to
use Outlook again.

Are you using exchange server? Are you using any addins or programs that
access outlook data? (Most common is a PDA.)

Thanks the help.

I uninstalled ActiveSynce 3.8 and Yahoo Messenger to see if that would help.

The problem is there. Any ideas?

Thanks..

Does the same thing happen if you go to Start | All Programs |
Microsoft Office | and run outlook?

Did you " click the Outlook icon in the notications area, and then
clicking Cancel Server Requests on the shortcut menu". ? I assume this
is the system tray in the bottom right of your screen where there
should be a little outlook icon when you try to start it.
