Problem shutting down Outlook 2003

[Grumpy Aero Guy]

OL 2003 SP2
MS XP Pro SR2, All updates installed...

Upon doing a File-->Exit, Outlook.exe stills appears in task manager, jumps
to 99% CPU, Mem Usage exceeds 14k. Outlook appears to close properly at UI
level.

Machine slows down due to Outlook.exe not "ending". I must manually kill
Outlook.exe via task manager.

At first, I thought I got nailed with spyware/adware/virus ... turns out
that Outlook.exe will not shut down.

Did Spybot sweep/ virus sweep ... all clean...

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for your input.
