Outlook XP Frustrating Behavior

[Stephen]

I have a DSL connection and am running Windows XP SP1 and
Office XP SP2.
When I leave Outlook loaded up for a period of time and I
go in later and click the SEND/RECEIVE, it fails to
retrieve my email. I close Outlook and open the task
manager and see that OUTLOOK.EXE is still running as a
process (I think it is a second instance of it). I
terminate the process, then reload Outlook, and am able
to successfully Secretaries. How is a second copy of
Outlook getting loaded??
